16、 IntroductionMulti-modal Discourse Analysis is a collection of research papers in the field ofmultimodality. These papers are concerned with developing the theory andpractice of the analysis of discourse and sites which make use of multiplesemiotic resources; for example, language, visual images, sp
17、ace and archi-tecture. New social semiotic frameworks are presented for the analysis of arange of discourse genres in print media, dynamic and static electronicmedia and three-dimensional objects in space. The theoretical approachinforming these research efforts is Michael Hallidays 1994 systemic-fu
18、nctional theory of language which is extended to other semiotic resources.These frameworks, many of which are inspired by Michael OTooles 1994approach in The Language of Displayed Art, are also used to investigate mean-ing arising from the integrated use of semiotic resources.The research presented
19、here represents the early stages in a shift of focusin linguistic enquiry where language use is no longer theorized as an isolatedphenomenon see, for example, Baldry, 2000; Kress, 2003; Kress and vanLeeuwen, 1996, 2001; ledema, 2003; Ventola et al., forthcoming. Theanalysis and interpretation of lan
20、guage use is contextualized in conjunctionwith other semiotic resources which are simultaneously used for the con-struction of meaning. For example, in addition to linguistic choices and theirtypographical instantiation on the printed page,1 multimodal analysis takesinto account the functions and me
21、aning of the visual images, together withthe meaning arising from the integrated use of the two semiotic resources.To date, the majority of research endeavours in linguistics have tended toconcentrate solely on language while ignoring, or at least downplaying, thecontributions of other meaning-makin
22、g resources. This has resulted inrather an impoverished view of functions and meaning of discourse.Language studies are thus undergoing a major shift to account fully formeaning-making practices as evidenced by recent research in multimodalityfor example, Baldry, 2000; Callaghan and McDonald, 2002;
23、ledema, 2001;Jewitt, 2002; Martin, forthcoming; Kress, 2000, 2003; Kress et al., 2001:Kress and van Leeuwen, 1996, 2001; Lemke, 1998, 2002, 2003; OHalloran,1999a, 2000, 2003a, 2003b; Royce, 2002; Thibault, 2000; Unsworth, 2001;Ventola et al., forthcoming; Zammit and Callow, 1998.Multimodal Discourse
24、 Analysis contains an invited paper by Michael2 INTRODUCTIONOToole, a founding scholar in the extension of systemic-functional theoryto semiotic resources other than language. The collection also features aninvited contribution from Anthony Baldry, a forerunner in the use of inform-ation technology
25、for the development of multimodal theory and practice.The remaining seven research papers have been completed by KayHalloran and her postgraduate students in the Semiotics Research GroupSRG in the Department of English Language and Literature at theNational University of Singapore. The SRG has been
26、actively involved inresearch in systemic-functional approaches to multimodality over theperiod 1999-2003.The papers are organized into sections according to the medium of thediscourse: Part I which is concerned with three-dimensional material objectsin space, Part II which deals with electronic medi
27、a and film and Part IIIwhich contains investigations into print media. The theoretical advancespresented in this volume are illustrated through the analysis of a range ofmultimodal discourses and sites, some of which are Singaporean. Thesecontributions represent a critical yet sensitive interpretati
28、on of everydaydiscourses in Singapore. Thus, like all discourse, they are grounded in localknowledge, but due to the universality of the semiotic model being used,they are applicable to similar texts in any culture. A brief synopsis of eachpaper in this collection is given below.In Michael Os opening paper in Part I, Opera Ludentes: theSydney Opera House at work and play, a systemic-functional analysis ofarchitecture OToole, 1990, 1994 is used to consider in turn the Experien-tial, Interpersonal and T
