The editors of this book have brought together cutting-edge scholarship which integrates multimodal and multilingual approaches to social and linguistic research. The range and scope of subject matter, and the depth of analysis, make this an unmissable resource for anyone interested in communication in contemporary life. * Angela Creese, University of Stirling, UK * This is a volume of impressive scope bringing together a selection of cutting-edge research. In their insightful approach, the editors recognize the value of semiotic resources which include and extend beyond language, and put social transformation front and centre. Applied Linguistics is enriched by this vibrant collection that explores the horizons of the field. * James Simpson, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology *More details
