- corpora of bilingual computer-mediated communication, enhanced with eye-tracking data
In a major new development, multimodal corpora of spontaneous spoken interactions are to be recorded and will provide the basis for the development of innovative speech technology.
Interdisciplinary collaboration on corpora is desirable future, for example, the annotation of multimodal images, analysis of gesture, etc.is relevant to the analysis of sign language and of graphic symbol communication for those with severe speech and physical impairments.
