Reviews

"""This book, by a group of highly talented young scholars, gives us a glimpse of what multimodal discourse analysis might come to look like in the first half of the 21st century."" - Professor Theo van Leeuwen, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia This book provides some concrete linguistic tools from the bonding of the three metafunctions to the bonding of multimodal semiotic systems to study the process of identity formation and negotiation. The 10 chapters are truly at the forefront of SFL studies and represent a wide range of multimodal texts from an interdisciplinary approach. -- Discourse Studies 14(1), 2012"


This book, by a group of highly talented young scholars, gives us a glimpse of what multimodal discourse analysis might come to look like in the first half of the 21st century. - Professor Theo van Leeuwen, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia Bednarek's volume is a welcome corpus-assisted contribution to the study of television from which scholars and students of linguistics, media and cultural studies will much benefit. Informative, clear and subtle it is a very pleasant read for the corpus neophyte and for the corpus linguist alike. Applied Linguistics
