Submission Deadline: 01-Oct-2026

Human communication relies on multiple modalities that jointly convey
meaning and support interaction. Yet communication often occurs under
non-ideal conditions, where channels are degraded, absent,
technologically transformed, or replaced, as in noise, remote
communication, sign language, clinical conditions, or interactions
with avatars and socially interactive AI. We invite contributions on
multimodal communication involving speech, gesture, gaze, facial
expression, sign language, and written–spoken interaction. Topics
include adverse conditions, avatar-mediated communication, and
communication in underrepresented populations, including clinical
groups, blind and/or deaf speakers, individuals with dementia,
second-language speakers, and multilingual communities, with
particular attention to how communicative functions are reorganized
when channels are constrained, altered, or transformed.
Organisers: Oliver Niebuhr and Marzena Zygis
