Multimodality In Situated Contexts

AY2021/2022 Semester 1

In this course, you will learn to analyse communication and its relations to multimodal resources that users deploy in particular situations. We outline the key concepts and methods of distinct traditions in multimodal analysis; refer to seminal studies and critiques; and reflect on their synergies and differences. Crucially, you will learn to develop research questions and design a study related to multimodal discourse. This course is for anyone who is interested in language, communication and meaning, including, but not limited to students in applied and sociolinguistics.
