Description: Linguistic alignment is the process of adjusting linguistic features to enhance communication in multimodal contexts. This concept focuses on adapting language, both verbal and non-verbal, to facilitate understanding and effective interaction among different modes of communication, such as text, images, sounds, and gestures. Linguistic alignment aims to create coherence among the various elements that make up a message, ensuring that all multimodal components work together to convey a clear and accessible meaning. This process involves considering the context, audience, and communicative goals, allowing communicators to select and modify language in a way that maximizes the effectiveness of the message. In an increasingly digital and visual world, linguistic alignment becomes essential to ensure that information is presented in a comprehensible and engaging manner, thereby facilitating interaction and learning in diverse and complex environments.
