This contribution argues that one reason for this is the traditionally weak connection between semiotics and empirical methods. To counter this, a model of multimodal communication is… read more
Bateman, John A. and Chiaoi Tseng 2015 The establishment of interpretative expectations in filmMultimodality and Cognitive Linguistics, Pinar Sanz, María Jesús (ed.), pp. 131–146 | Article
In this paper we show that some notions from the textual organisation of verbal texts appear also to give insights to the organisation of films.

Until now bridging the gap between narrative concerns and fine-grained analysis of complex… read more
