RESEARCH TOPIC @FRONTIERS IN COMMUNICATION: fro.ntiers.in/nAAB

DRAWING MULTIMODALITY’S BIGGER PICTURE:
METALANGUAGES AND CORPORA FOR MULTIMODAL ANALYSES

in lieu of a Festschrift for John A. Bateman

Background
Multimodality has most recently been described no longer as a research
field or discipline on its own, but rather as a “stage of development
within a field” (Bateman 2022a: 49). Realizing that (1) many different
fields and disciplines now enter their own multimodal phase with new
interest in multimodal phenomena and (2) that these disciplines all
commit to the development of multimodality research with their own
theoretical principles and methodological tools brings with it not
only an immense breadth of potential analytical objects, but also many
new meta-methodological issues. At the same time, the search for a
meta-methodology for multimodal analyses is pushed further by the
recent trend towards more empirical approaches to multimodal phenomena
and the development and use of larger multimodal corpora that just as
well require theoretical and methodological refinements.
For a productive handling of these issues, disciplinary triangulation
and the finding of a ‘common language’ or metalanguage (Maton & Chen
2016) for an ‘integrationist interdisciplinarity’ (van Leeuwen 2005)
are the greatest challenges in contemporary multimodality research
(Bateman 2022a). Also, there is a need for reconceptualising the
practice of analysis by making available large-scale corpora and
broader and more complex empirical setups to fully process the ‘move
from theory to data’ and to substantiate long lasting theoretical and
methodological hypotheses (Pflaeging et al. 2021). For this project,
we see these challenges productively as “a multimodal task from the
ground up”, as John Bateman (2022b: 64) has phrased it in one of his
most recent papers.

Goal
The Research Topic will address this task by convening most recent
theoretical and methodological as well as practical and empirical
developments within contemporary multimodality research.

Scope and Information for Contributors
This Research Topic aims at bringing together scholars from a variety
of disciplines interested in multimodality research to review,
explore, and advance the contributions that John Bateman as one of the
key figures in multimodality research has made to both theory- and
method-building as well as the driving forward of multimodal empirical
and corpus analyses. We welcome papers that, for example,
• critically address the theoretical and methodological advancements
that John Bateman has made with regard to the notion of semiotic mode,
discourse semantics, genre, textuality, etc.
• apply one of the many approaches that John Bateman has developed for
the empirical analysis of multimodal artefacts (e.g. the GeM model for
page-based documents, his work on multimodal film and audio-visual
analysis, the discourse semantics and/or annotation approach to visual
narratives) to larger corpora or currently newly developing
communicative situations;
•       expand on one of the before mentioned aspects with new ideas
and insights from disciplines that have not yet been included in
multimodality research.
