This workshop will debate on the main issues in multimodality: the study of how the different modalities (speech, gesture, gaze, prosody, facial expressions, and so on) interact in communicative situations, and how to build a PhD program based on the skills needed for this area of research

Organised by Cristóbal Pagán Cánovas & Javier Valenzuela (University of Murcia).
