Abstract:

Semiotic Margins analyses the meaning making potential of not only language,
but modalities like laughter, music, colour, and architectural spaces. By
examining resources often positioned on the side-line of mainstream semiotic
accounts, this study raises the question of what counts as part of language
and communication and why.

Beginning with the more established nonverbal resources of communication, four
major themes of modalities of meaning are covered. The investigation of music
and space looks at how semiotic systems in classical music interact. Using
children's books, the relationship between images and verbal meaning is
then explored, presenting implications for student literacy as well as a
methodology for supporting children excluded from mainstream literary
practices. Finally new approaches to transcribing representations in
screen-based technologies are presented through an examination of television
advertisements.

Semiotic Margins will appeal to linguists and semioticians wishing to pursue
research in systemic functional linguistics and multimodal discourse analysis.
