{"product_id":"comics-as-communication-paul-fisher-davies-9783030297213","title":"Comics as Communication: A Functional Approach","description":"This book explores how comics function to make meanings in the manner of a language. It outlines a framework for describing the resources and practices of comics creation and readership, using an approach that is compatible with similar descriptions of linguistic and multimodal communication.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe approach is based largely on the work of Michael Halliday, drawing also on the pragmatics of Paul Grice, the Text World Theory of Paul Werth and Joanna Gavins, and ideas from art theory, psychology and narratology. This brings a broad Hallidayan framework of multimodal analysis to comics scholarship, and plays a part in extending that tradition of multimodal linguistics to graphic narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Fisher Davies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030297217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030297213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/18\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 1.13d","brand":"Paul Fisher Davies","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44125935993087,"sku":"9783030297213","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_95f73f63-0261-4846-b6cc-6a0635e42ae0.jpg?v=1687445397","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/comics-as-communication-paul-fisher-davies-9783030297213","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
