Von der Textlinguistik zur Bildlinguistik. Sprache-Bild-Texte im neuen Forschungsparadigma

Abstract

This article reflects on different approaches to multimodal communication in text linguistics. For some time text linguistics deals with multimodal texts, however, the communicative and functional complexity of language-image-texts could give a reason to establish a new discipline – image linguistics, which is based on texts linguistics and develops already existing text theory and analytical methods. Nevertheless, within this article I propose a compromise and vote for developing of multimodal text linguistics.
