2. Text Linguistic Approaches I: Analysis of Media Texts
-
Martina Schrader-Kniffki
Abstract
Text linguistics as one key discipline in linguistic media research is nowadays challenged with an increased complexity of its subject. Media texts in tertiary media are often multimodal and address various semiotic dimensions through (hyper)text, moving or still pictures, sound, and graphic effects. This article outlines theoretical approaches to the analysis of media texts in the era of multimodality with a focus on film and television text, which are usually characterized by linearity and a separation of the producer and the receiver, as well as hypertext, which is characterized by nonlinearity and interactivity. Borders of texts, especially in online contexts, are becoming more and more blurred and require new analytical approaches.
