Towards an Analysis of Visual Discourse
Abstract
The paper is an attempt to shed light one type of non-verbal discourse, namely visual discourse. The aim is to provide a brief arrive overview of existing approaches to this kind of text and so at a rationale for the approach that may be most useful for the particular text example. The paper attempts to illustrate the value of discourse analytic readings of texts. It argues that using discourse analysis in relation to visual texts provides the chance to open up, read and interpret texts in different ways.
