What are multimodal texts? How can we transcribe and analyse them?
How can multimedia and internet help us in multimodal discourse
analysis? What postproduction and authoring skills are needed to
analyse a multimodal text or to develop a corpus of multimodal
texts? How does integrating multimedia meaning-making resources
into hypertext multiply our meaning-making potential? How does the
study of language relate to multimodality and multimedia, in
particular in the e-learning age? How, and to what extent, will
multimodal discourse analysis re-shape linguistics? In its attempt
to provide answers to the questions raised above, and many others,
this book proposes concrete solutions to the problems of multimodal
text analysis and transcription of printed texts, websites and
film. As such, it constitutes a much needed course in multimodal
text transcription and analysis. It also suggests ways in which
multimodal discourse analysis can help both educators and students
understand how meaning is made in the e-learning environments that
now play such an important role in our lives. In both these
respects, readers are encouraged to use the book in conjunction
with an associated and freely accessible website which provides
many illustrations and exercises that further contextualise and
exemplify the insights and descriptions provided by the book. As
befits a coursebook, the individual chapters of the book are
carefully organised in such a way as to provide a step-by-step
progression in theoretical and descriptive complexity.
