About the Event

Written words have the power to convey thoughts and information, shape opinions, and trigger social change. Digital transformation will change not only the means of communication, but also the structure, style, and meaning of languages. The question is whether this transformation will also lead to a completely new, technology-enabled linguistic dimension within human communication.
