Picture, text, and imagetext: Textual polylogy
-
Virve Sarapik
Abstract
This article summarizes earlier attempts at systematizing the relations between pictorial and verbal representation. The relations between text and pictorial representation were, at first, presented hierarchically or on the basis of the dominant. Second, the explicit and implicit expressions of picture and text were distinguished. Next, different functions of picture and text in the picture-text relations were pointed out. The current article attempts to determine some crucial notions regarding the examined phenomena, to offer certain initial classifications for the analysis of picture-text relations, to point out that there are no simple texts based on just one means of expression, and to find the main functions of the message and its parts revealed in the mutual impact of text and picture.
