The Multimodal Symbolic Articulation in Illustrated Shì Shuō Xīn Yǔ(《世说新语》)
Every illustrated text is a new text.Then how does the new text articulate its theme? This paper tries to give an answer to this interesting question by applying a modified version of Hasan”s stylistic model of verbal arts in the analysis of Liu Yiqing”s story collection Shì Shuō Xin Yǔ(《世说新语》).Our analyses show that two factors are important: one is the semiotic foregrounding, that is, patterning of patterns of the multimodal text;the other is the theme articulated by each component.In our tentative analyses, distinctions are made between multimodality as a phenomenon and as a perspective, between general multimodal discourse analysis and multimodal stylistic analysis, and between stylistic enquiries concerning why and how a text means what it does and stylistic analysis of symbolic articulation.Treating multimodality as a phenomenon, we use texts with illustrations as data to investigate firstly how texts and images interact to make meaning and then how themes are multimodally articulated.Eight ways of illustrating are summarized in the present investigation.
