The third edition of MMSYM continues the symposium series on multimodal communication previously held in Frankfurt am Main (2024) and Barcelona (2023). The symposium aims at gaining insights into the interaction and/or co-dependence of semiotic resources in spoken and signed language. To advance our understanding of communication, the symposium aims at further integrating multimodality as an integral part of linguistics and cognitive science. This overarching goal of the symposium is rooted in the conviction that investigating multimodality is key to understanding how language and communication work. For MMSYM 2026, we welcome contributions approaching multimodal communication from different methodological and disciplinary angles. The main topic of this edition of the symposium is “Embodied communication in (inter)action”.
