Ielka van der Sluis AILA 2020 CONGRESS 09-14 August 2020 • Groningen • The Netherlands S051 EVALUATING MULTIMODAL DOCUMENTS EMPIRICAL STUDIES ON THE UNDERSTANDING OF AUDIO-VISUAL TEXTS Symposium | Call for Papers Organisers Ielka van der Sluis Gisela Redeker Janina Wildfeuer multimodality • evaluation • reception • cognition he symposium addresses how multimodal analyses can be used for and applied to the evaluation of multimodal communication. It aims at reviewing evaluation methods and providing practical implications for the design of accessible audio-visual texts. While the use of multimodal resources such as pictures, texts, sound and moving images has become normal in our communication, it is not self-evident how these resources should effectively be combined to guarantee the envisioned understanding. Insights in human processing principles and empirical reception studies are needed to evaluate multimodal design and to inform the variety of theories and methods in our broad multimodal context. The symposium concentrates on the principles that underlie successful communication by explicitly asking for results from empirical reception studies conducted with readers/users of multimodal texts. We seek contributions reporting empirical and corpus-based studies of multimodal artefacts that provide insights into how people navigate an understand them. Featured talks by Jana Holsanova, Lund University, and James Pustejovsky, Brandeis University, will provide excellent starting points for our discussions. The symposium aims at gaining empirical and theoretical insights into how readers and usersystematic empirical and corpus-based analyses and that can provide practical implications for the design of accessible audio-visual texts.
