Cartoons are designed as a response to a social event and aim to create a humorous effect in the audience through their multimodal discourse. The interpretation requires contextual and cultural information which has to be shared by the cartoonist and the audience. Our research focuses on the… read more
Over the past hundred years, linguistic schools have put forward and adopted either divergent or convergent positions regarding what language consists of.

I also start from the… read more
