This paper addresses the question as to whether new digital forms of interaction instantiate a decline of verbal language or of visual communication. Many studies claim that web-based interactions are more based on verbal language, as they involve live, spoken interactions, which are by definition shaped by conversation, whereas others argue that image is dominant in the digital domain, as it deploys affordances typical of multimodal environments.

Abstract
This paper addresses the question as to whether new digital forms of interaction instantiate a decline of verbal language or of visual communication. Many studies claim that web-based interactions are more based on verbal language, as they involve live, spoken interactions, which are by definition shaped by conversation, whereas others argue that image is dominant in the digital domain, as it deploys affordances typical of multimodal environments.File in questo prodotto:
