This book introduces an integrated framework with corpus-assisted approach to deal with large set of data of discourse with multimodal factors to investigate how policy addresses (the government reports of Macao SAR) as a discourse type function in the social changes of Macao SAR through discussing the social factors to the production and consumption of policy addresses. The book explores research models or methodology in dealing with the contemporary topics in translation studies with a detailed presentation of the application of an analytical framework which marries corpus-assisted analysis, discourse analysis from socio-cultural perspective and multimodality with translation studies. Withal, the book is with the chapters to review the development of the social approach to discourse analysis and to introduce the stories of Macao with the summary of the development of this special region, in academic field, political and cultural fields.

Focusing on multimodality in translation studies, this edited volume provides insights into the trends and practices of multimodal translation in a variety of media. Divided into four main themes, the book explores audiovisual translation in digital media, multimodal translation of Chinese classics, multimodal design in website translation, and the use of paratexts in conference interpreting. Contributors draw on a diverse range of methods and theoretical models, including systemic functional multimodal discourse analysis, narrative theory, Skopos-functional theory, multimodal analysis of digital discourse, and corpus-based multimodal analysis. It covers important topics in media translation, ranging from emerging multimodal translation models to multimodal creativity in interlingual subtitling for social media and identity construction in the multimodal translation of food advertising. Through robust empirical studies, the book aims to shed light on the methodological development of multimodal translation in different media forms, including social media, websites, on-site interactions and books. The title will be of great value to scholars and students of linguistics, translation studies, multimodal discourse analysis and digital media.

This book presents a new basis for the empirical analysis of film. Starting from an established body of work in film theory, the authors show how a close incorporation of the current state of the art in multimodal theory—including accounts of the syntagmatic and paradigmatic axes of organisation, discourse semantics and advanced ‘layout structure’—builds a methodology by which concrete details of film sequences drive mechanisms for constructing filmic discourse structures. The book introduces the necessary background, the open questions raised, and the method by which analysis can proceed step-by-step. Extensive examples are given from a broad range of films. With this new analytic tool set, the reader will approach the study of film organisation with new levels of detail and probe more deeply into the fundamental question of the discipline: just how is it that films reliably communicate meaning?

Nowadays, discourse analysis deals with not only texts but also paratexts and images; so do translation and interpreting studies. Therefore, the concept of multimodality has become an increasingly important topic in the subject areas of linguistics, discourse analysis and translation studies. However, up to now not much research has been done systematically on multimodal factors in translation and interpreting, and even less in exploring research models or methodologies for multimodal analysis in translation and interpreting. This book aims to introduce and apply different theories of the multimodal discourse analysis to the study of translations, with case studies on Chinese classics such as the Monkey King, Mulan and The Art of War, as well as on interpretations of up-to-date issues including the Chinese Belt and Road Initiatives and Macao tourism. The chapters reflect the first attempts to apply multimodal approaches to translation and interpreting with a special focus on Chinese-English translations and interpreting. They provide new understandings of transformations in the multimodal translation process and useful reference models for researchers who are interested in doing research of a similar kind, especially for those who are interested in looking into translations related to Chinese language, literature and culture.

This book brings together cutting-edge research on multimodal texts and the "discourses" generated through the interaction of two or more modes of communication, for example pictures of language, typography and layout, body movement and camera movement. The contributors collected within this volume use systemic functional linguistics to analyze how meaning is generated within a series of case studies. The result is a comprehensive survey of the ways in which enhanced meaning emerges through the interaction of more than one mode of communication. Multimodal Discourse Analysis will be useful to researchers interested in the application of systemic functional linguistics to media studies, discourse analysis and cognitive linguistics.

This critical and empirically based volume examines the multiple existing Nordic models, providing analytically innovative attention to the multitude of circulating ideas, images and experiences referred to as "Nordic". It addresses related paradoxes as well as patterns of circulation, claims about the exceptionality of Nordic models, and the diffusion and impact of Nordic experiences and ideas. Providing original case studies, the book further examines how the Nordic models have been constructed, transformed and circulated in time and in space. It investigates the actors and channels that have been involved in circulating models: journalists and media, bureaucrats and policy-makers, international organizations, national politicians and institutions, scholars, public diplomats and analyses where and why models have travelled. Finally, the book shows that Nordic models, perspectives, or ideas do not always originate in the Nordic region, nor do they always develop as deliberate efforts to promote Nordic interests. This book will be of key interest to Nordic and Scandinavian studies, European studies, and more broadly to history, sociology, political science, marketing, social policy, organizational theory and public management.

Reading Images provides the first systematic and comprehensive account of the grammar of visual design. By looking at the formal elements and structures of design the authors examine the ways in which images communicate meaning.

What this book is not, it is not a leadership academic resource, filled with principles, methodologies, laws or processes - it's a conversation. It's like we sat down and shared stories over an ice-cold beer or chilled tequila on a hot sunny day. It is an unconventional leadership book, an autobiography of lessons learned. By reading this book, you'll be taken on a ride with me through my personal leadership story, I️ call my journey or ride. While you're reading the tales of my woes and cat-howl moments, I️ encourage you to think about your own ride, your stories and how my experiences might offer you some insight into what's happening on your journey. Our specific trades or crafts might be different, don't be too quick to skip over the details of the ride. The lessons are in the stories. Stories make lessons stickier, like lock-tight to a nut & bolt. Challenge yourself to find the similarities that might be happening in your life. Fix what's not working or no longer fits and cat-howl, growl and pound your chest for the stuff you've got dialed-in. Then get out there and pay it forward. Help develop other badass leaders by sharing your lessons learned. Yes, the good, bad and ugly! If you haven't already, I'd love it if you'd Join the Club at www.badassleader.com, so we can keep this thing going and support one another. We're just getting started. #ExpandYourTribe
