韩礼德提出语言是社会符号中的一种,并说明语言具有概念,人际,语篇三大纯理功能。Kress&Van Leeuwen在此基础上提出适用于分析图像的视觉语法。本文将以Kress&Van Leeuwen的视觉语法为理论依据,对一则环境新闻的互动意义进行多模态话语分析。从而揭示图像在新闻语篇中如何产生意义,进而验证视觉语法在多模态语篇中的实用性和可操作性。 Halliday proposed that language is one of the symbols of society and that language has three major functions of concept, interpersonal and discourse. Based on this, Kress & Van Leeuwen proposed a visual grammar suitable for analyzing images. This article will use Kress & Van Leeuwen’s visual grammar as a theoretical basis to conduct a multimodal discourse analysis of the interactive meaning of an environmental news. So as to reveal the meaning of the image in news discourse and verify the practicability and operability of visual grammar in multimodal discourse.
