Special Issue: 
''Multimodal Analyses of Specialized Discourse''
Volume editors: Immaculada Fortanet Gómez and Edgar Bernad Mechó

This monographic volume will present a series of contributions on the studies
of specific discourse from a multimodal perspective.
Antecedents and scope of the special issue:
In recent years, different theories and approaches towards research have been
developed from a multimodal perspective. The main premise is that ''language
is inherently multimodal '' (Fortanet-Gómez and Crawford-Camiciottoli, 2015:
2), that is to say, messages are codified across an indeterminate number of
'modes' (words, gestures, facial expressions, writing, colors, music,
electronic presentations, etc.) that contribute to the creation of meaning
(Jewitt, 2009; Kress and van Leeuwen, 2001). Among the most well-known
approaches to multimodal studies three may be highlighted: Multimodal Social
Semiotics (Hodge and Kress, 1988; Kress and van Leeuwen, 1996, 2001; van
Leeuwen, 2005), Multimodal Discourse Analysis (or Systemic Functional -
Multimodal Discourse Analysis) (Baldry, 2004; Baldry & Thibault, 2006;
O'Halloran, 2004, 2005, O'Toole, 2004, 2011), and Multimodal (Inter)action
Analysis(Norris, 2004; Norris & Jones, 2005; Scollon, 2001; Scollon & Scollon,
2003).

Studies focusing on the specific discourse, however, have rarely adopted a
multimodal point of view (Plastina, 2013; Prior, 2013), and in the few cases
in which this has been the perspective, they have centered for the most part
on the study of written materials (Guo, 2004; Yuen, 2004). The analysis of the
specific discourse still has much to contribute by applying multimodality
theories and methodologies with the aim to obtain a more complete vision of
the intrinsic characteristics of this discourse.
The articles in this monographic volume will therefore be focused on
multimodal studies of specific discourse.

Submission of Proposals:
The abstract (500 words max.) will be submitted as an attached document to
ebernad at uji.es (and copy to: iberica at aelfe.org) before 15 April 2018. It
should be an original proposal which has not been published yet and is not
being considered for publication elsewhere. The abstract should be in the
language which will be used in the complete paper. This abstract will be
accompanied by a biographic note (50-75 words) about the author(s).
Bibliographical references are welcome in the abstract, which should be
included in a final reference list and which will not be counted as part of
the abstract (that is, they will not be included in the maximum 500 words
count).
The abstracts will undergo a double-blind peer review and its acceptance or
refusal will be informed before 20 May 2018. Once the proposal has been
accepted, authors will be asked to submit their complete papers (8000 words
max, abstract, references, notes, appendices, etc. included) before 31 July
2018. The papers will be double-blind peer reviewed by expert reviewers who
will ask authors to revise their papers and send their revisions and reports.
Authors will receive their reviews before 1 October 2018 and will have 2
months to submit their revised and definitive version of the paper.
