Abstract:

This volume presents a cross-disciplinary analysis of academic poster
presentations, taking into consideration the text and visuals that posters
display depending on the discipline within which they are created. As the
academic poster is a multimodal genre, different modal aspects have been taken
into consideration when analysing it, a fact that has somehow complicated the
genre analysis conducted, but has also stimulated the research work involved
and, in the end, provided interesting results. 

The analysis carried out here has highlighted significant cross-disciplinary
differences in terms of word count, portrait/landscape orientation and layout
of posters, as well as discipline and subdiscipline-specific patterns for what
concerns the use of textual interactive and interactional metadiscourse
resources and visual interactive resources. 

The investigation has revealed what textual and visual metadiscourse resources
are employed, where and why, and as a consequence, what textual and visual
metadiscourse strategies should be adopted by poster authors depending on the
practices and expectations of their academic community.
