What is visual texts have their own metalanguage?Show answer
Just as written texts have syntax and diction, visual texts have a vocabulary of choices you can name precisely.
What are multimodal texts coordinate their modes?Show answer
In a text that combines words and images, the meaning lives partly in how the modes interact. Words can anchor an ambiguous image toward one meaning, an image can undercut or ironise the words above it, and layout decides which the reader meets first. Analysing a multimodal text means reading the relationship between modes, not just each mode alone.
