The LingCologne2019 conference took place at the University of Cologne from 6 to 7 June 2019.
Entitled “Conference on a multimodal view of language and the interactions of different language modalities”, the event featured a wide range of top-class lectures. Interesting posters on the subject of multimodality dealt with the interaction between spoken word, writing, sign language and gesture.
Many members of the IDGS and the German Sign Language Corpus project attended. Well-known and new scientists offered interesting insights into current research at the interface between the various modalities.
