Abstract:
This volume develops a new multimodal semiotic approach to the study of communication, examining how multimodal discourse is construed transmedially and interculturally and how new technologies and cultural stances inform communicative contexts across the world. It contributes to current theoretical debates in the disciplines of semiotics, linguistics, multimodality, and pragmatics, as well as those aspects of pedagogy and film studies that engage with the notions of text and narrative by addressing questions such as: How do we study multimedia communication? How do we incorporate the impact of new media technologies into the study of Linguistics and Semiotics? How do we construe culture in modern communication? How useful are the current multidisciplinary approaches to multimodal communication?
Through the analysis of specific case studies that are developed within diverse academic disciplines and which draw on a range of theoretical frameworks, the goal of this book is to provide a basis for an overarching framework that can be applied by scholars and students with different academic and cultural backgrounds.

Abstract:
This book presents new issues in the study of the interface of emotions and
language, and their use in social context. Two fundamental questions are
tackled: the way different languages encode emotional information and the core
role emotions play in languages’ structure, use and learning. Seldom treated
means of expressing emotions (such as interjections, conditionals, scalarity,
allocentric constructions), the social and professional impact of emotions and
the latest developments in the interface of speech recognition / emotions are
some of the key contributions to this volume. The cross-cultural perspective
contrasts new couples of languages (among which Australian aboriginal
languages, Cypriot Greek, Italian, Japanese, Romanian, Russian) and addresses
sociolinguistic, pragmatic and discursive issues. Most of the papers attempt
interesting theoretical articulations that aim at a better understanding of
the linguistic and sociolinguistic nature of emotions. This book will be
highly relevant for students and researchers interested in emotions,
semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, as well as prosody and philosophy
of language.
