Multimodality: Theoretical and methodological perspectives, 7.5 Credits

Course description

The course presents a number of theoretical and methodological approaches to multimodality: how different modes of communication combine for meaning-making in different contexts.

Students have the opportunity to do an in-depth study of one or a few of these approaches, if possible with direct relevance to their own PhD thesis. The language of instruction is English.
