Further Reading

This offers an introduction to multimodality from a practice-based perspective and approaches multimodal phenomena from different theoretical perspectives and disciplinary angles.

This provides a comprehensive introduction to various theoretical approaches to multimodality from different disciplines (e.g. visual studies, anthropology, conversation analysis, sociocultural theory, etc.).

This presents an accessible introduction to multimodality that illuminates the potential of multimodal research for understanding the ways in which people communicate. Offering a wide range of examples, clear practical support and a glossary of terms, the book is an ideal reference guide for beginners in multimodal analysis.

This is an essential resource for researchers interested in multimodal communication. Drawing on an enormous range of examples including children’s drawings, textbook illustrations, photojournalism, advertising images, fine art, websites, as well as three-dimensional material artefacts such as sculpture, the book presents a comprehensive account of the ways in which images communicate meaning.

This presents a systematic toolkit of theories, concepts and techniques for carrying out critical discourse analysis of language and images. Based on a variety of case studies and examples drawn from a range of traditional and new media genres, the book is an essential resource for beginners in critical discourse analysis.

Further Reading

This very useful introductory essay is partly concerned with the semiotic mediation of material qualities.

Goodwin’s magnum opus brings together his lifelong concern with gesture, materiality, language and embodiment in an argument about the cooperative character of human action.

This is an important attempt to apply the linguistic anthropological approach to the study of documents in their contexts of use.

In this classic, pioneering essay, the author explores ways of thinking about language across a range of contexts and challenges a simplistic application of Saussurean sign theory to the ethnographic study of language in context.

This is an important and influential intervention in which the author shows the utility of Peircean sign theory in a semiotic consideration of material objects.

In this short but brilliant comment on Hull’s ethnography, the author draws upon Derrida and some of the ethnographic details Hull reports on to articulate larger questions about the relationships among language, discourse and materiality.

This is a useful, recent and quite comprehensive survey of Peirce’s writings on signs.

This case study of the linguistic landscape of Antwerp, Belgium explores the way in which multilingual signs chronicle the complex histories of a place.

This is an important collection about linguistic landscapes, with a focus on language and visual discourse and on spatial practices.

This classic text explores the ways in which the meaning of public texts is dependent on a rich understanding of the social and physical context in which they exist.

This is one of the earliest collections of linguistic landscape research; it gives a good overview of the scope of the field.

Further Reading

This chapter offers a well-founded overview of key questions in sociolinguistics from the angle of body and embodiment. It deals with topics such as embodied indexicality, style as embodied self-presentation, embodied discourse and embodied agency.

The concept of bodily and emotionally lived experience of language is developed in detail and grounded in post-structuralist and phenomenological thinking.

This is one of Goodwin’s famous studies on how interactants make use of their bodies and display affects to achieve collaborative action. It is based on a sequence in which a father is helping his daughter do homework.

The book analyzes personal experiences of language through the voices of Mexican immigrant women in the United States, in relation to racialization discourses. The author emphasizes that the interactional dimension of emotions is a central linguistic device not only found in constructed dialogues (reported speech) but also emergent in the whole narrative structure.

This book presents a new social science understanding of affect and emotion and offers insights into approaches from psycho, neuro, bio and social sciences.

Further Reading

This article offers a reframing of “competence” by examining how multilingual STEM scholars engage in their work through linguistic, embodied and material resources. Building on conceptual insights from new materialism and Actor-Network theory, it explores some of the methodological implications of posthumanist thinking for discourse analysts.

In dialogue with emerging posthumanist multispecies studies, this ethnography investigates the semiotic entanglements of Ecuadorian Quichua-speaking Runa with the plants, animals and ecosystems they interact with in the Amazon. In challenging anthropocentric thinking about language, discourse and representation, the book offers an innovative understanding of semiosis as not only human but an emergent property of all living beings or “selves.”

This book offers an in-depth introduction to Actor-Network theory from one of the key figures in its development. Divided into two parts, it first provides an overview of the theoretical influences motivating ANT’s call for a shift from a “sociology of the social” to a “sociology of associations.” The second part guides readers through the methodological principles underpinning ANT.

This book introduces posthumanism to the field of applied linguistics by arguing against the popular conception that language is the key to human exceptionalism. Pennycook dismantles this logic by drawing attention to the embodied, material and distributed nature of language.

This book offers an introduction to nexus analysis and remains a cutting-edge example of a posthumanist orientation to ethnographic discourse analysis. The method is illustrated through an investigation of how early internet communication mediated Alaska Natives’ access to various institutional assemblages in the 1980s. The appendix of the book further summarizes the key principles of nexus analysis in a highly useful “field guide” for examining posthumanist actor-networks and assemblages.
