The two main focuses of the workshop will be on linguistic, visual and multimodal aspects of the mediated communication. The interdisciplinary approach of the workshop that will include psychologists, computer scientists, computational linguistics, will contribute to emphasize ways to strengthen interdisciplinary connections between the computational and human sciences of socio-affective dynamics.
