Abstract:

The volume examines the role of narratives in old and new media. Its ten 
contributions firstly center on the various forms and functions narratives 
assume in computer-mediated environments, e.g. websites, weblogs, 
message boards, etc. In this light, past and present approaches to the 
description of narratives are presented and reevaluated based on their ability to 
capture the conceptual and methodological exigencies of new media. Secondly, 
the volume sheds new light upon the multimodal composition of new media 
narratives which typically feature multiple co-occurring semiotic modes such as 
speech, sound, text, static or moving images. In this vein, each paper explores 
a wide array of authentic examples from text genres as diverse as political 
speeches, real-time narratives and contemporary feature films. Its wide scope 
should not only appeal to linguists interested in the discursive and pragmatic 
dimension of narratives but also to scholars and students in other scientific 
disciplines.
