| Summary |
"What is a multimodal text? What are clusters and phases? How do texts integrate language, ambient sounds, colour, gaze, gesture and many other resources to make meaning? What differences are there in the meaning-making processes in printed, web, and film texts? In what sense is there a multimodal grammar of texts? How does multimodality reshape linguistics?" "In the last eight years, the authors have worked with many audiences in many different countries in teacher training seminars, university courses and conferences concerned with research into multimodality to develop a sophisticated but easily-understandable analytical framework providing at least some answers to these questions. This book presents a scalar model of multimodality with a focus on the relations between the discourse stratum and multimodal systems and structures (words, images, movements, sounds, etc.) in both static and dynamic texts."--BOOK JACKET |
