Contemporary children's picture books provide a rich domain for
developing theory and analysis of visual meaning and its relation
to accompanying verbal text. This book offers new descriptions of
the visual strand of meaning in picture book narratives as a way of
furthering the project of 'multimodal' discourse analysis and of
explaining the literacy demands and apprenticing techniques of
children's earliest literature. The book uses the principles of
systemic-functional theory to organise an explicit account of
visual meaning in relation to three perspectives: the visual
construction of the narrative events and characters (ideational
meaning), the visual positioning of the reader through choices
related to focalisation and appraisal (interpersonal meaning) and
The book uses the principles of systemic-functional theory to
organise an explicit account of visual meaning in relation to three
perspectives: the visual construction of the narrative events and
characters (ideational meaning), the visual positioning of the
reader through choices related to focalisation and appraisal
(interpersonal meaning) and the discourse organization of visual
meanings through choices in framing and composition (compositional
meaning). The descriptions throughout are illustrated with examples
from highly regarded children's picture books. This book extends
previous social-semiotic accounts of the 'grammar' of the image, by
focussing attention on discourse level meanings and on semantic
relationships created by sequences of images. At the same time, it
extends current understandings of how picture books work through
its explicit and systematic account of the visual meanings and
their integration with verbal aspects of the texts. It will be of
interest to researchers in (multimodal) discourse analysis,
systemic-functional theory and children's literature and literacy.
