From 29.02. to 01.03., the Chair of Science Communication with a focus on Linguistics will host the annual conference of the DGPuK specialist group "Media Language - Media Discourses" on the topic of "Understanding and Understanding in the Digital Space". Among other things, we will ask how a common ground for digital communication can be established, what impact AI-based tools have on communicating, and how understanding can succeed with regard to controversial topics.
