Abstract:In recent years, with the development of multi-media, the social and cultural discourses have appeared to be more and more complex. Language is no longer the only way to construct meanings. Images, sounds, gestures and other communicating modes are also no longer paralanguages in our communication, but form a wider resource group with language to construct meanings together. This thesis tries to conduct multi-modal discourse analysis on a French advertisement, Dreamcard, on the basis of Visual Grammar, put forward by Kress and Van Leeuwen. It aims not only to show the function of conveying meaning by languages and images together, as social symbols, but also help the readers to strengthen their abilities of recognizing multi-modal discourse. This thesis can be divided into four parts. In the first part, it briefly introduces the background of the research and the concept of multi-modal discourse. In the second part, it describes those researching results of scholars in this field, overseas and home, in today’s world. The third part is a concrete case study on the basis of multi-modal discourse analysis. In the fourth part, it reviews the whole thesis and analyzes the significance and the deficiency of this study.
Keywords: multi-modal discourse analysis; social symbols; Dreamcard
