Multimodal Pragmatics and Translation: A New Model for Source Text Analysis By Sara DicertoEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2017 (2018 Edition) | 181 Pages | ISBN : 3319693433 | 4.94 MB
This book proposes a new model for the translation-oriented analysis of multimodal source texts. The author guides the reader through semiotics, multimodality, pragmatics and translation studies on a quest for the meaning-making mechanics of texts that combine images and words. She openly challenges the traditional view that sees translators focusing their attention mostly on the linguistic aspect of source material in their work.
