In this group we investigate the regularities behind language use and their effect on the production and interpretation of written, spoken and computer-mediated discourse. How do stylistic choices affect the impact of language use? How do digital contexts differ from written and spoken ones? How do we establish a coherent representation of a discourse, in different genres and media? How can we use rhetoric to improve the quality of texts written in different media? How do languages differ in their repertoire of cohesive devices and framing techniques? We use quantitative and qualitative corpus analyses and experiments to answer such questions.
