Do Irish superheroes actually sound Irish? Why are Gary Larson's
Far Side cartoons funny? How do political cartoonists in India,
Turkey, and the US get their point across? What is the impact of
English on comics written in other languages? These questions and
many more are answered in this volume, which brings together the
two fields of comics research and linguistics to produce
groundbreaking scholarship. With an international cast of
contributors, the book offers novel insights into the role of
language in comics, graphic novels, and single-panel cartoons,
analyzing the intersections between the visual and the verbal.
Contributions examine the relationship between cognitive
linguistics and visual elements as well as interrogate the
controversial claim about the status of comics as a language. The
book argues that comics tell us a great deal about the
sociocultural realities of language, exploring what code switching,
language contact, dialect, and linguistic variation can tell us
about identity - from the imagined and stereotyped to the political
and real.
