话语的多模态互动分析新路径——《多模态理论与方法:互动与身份分析》介评

A new approach to multimodal interaction analysis of discourse:A review of Multimodal Theory and Methodology For the Analysis of Inter action and I⁃dentity

多模态互动分析是多模态话语研究的主要路径之一。该路径旨在从互动行为的视角,对多模态话语进行多模态互动分析,以探究人们的心理、意图、情感、态度等信息。在2020年出版的《多模态理论与方法:互动与身份分析》中,Norris将互动分析同时放在话语的三个层面。通过其构建的“模态密度/注意力或意识的前景背景连续体”这一分析框架,分析互动中的模态密度和模态配置情况,从而探究互动行为在不同话语层所建构的身份要素及其所属关系。其理论和方法开创了多模态互动与身份分析的研究视角,对动态多模态话语分析与设计具有重要价值。

Multimodal interaction analysis is one of the main approaches to multimodal discourse re⁃search.This approach aims to analyze multimodal discourse from the perspective of interaction so as to explore people's psychology,intentions,feelings,attitudes and other information.In Multimodal Theory and Methodology For the Analysis of Inter action and Identity published in 2020,Norris simultaneously puts interaction analysis on three layers of a discourse and analy⁃zes the modal density and modal configuration in the interactions through the analytical frame⁃work,Modal Density Foreground Background Continuum of Attention/Awareness,thereby ex⁃ploring the identity elements and their relationships constructed in interactions on different layers of a discourse.Its theories and methodologies in this book create a new research perspec⁃tive,the multimodal interaction and identity analysis,which is of great value to analyze and de⁃sign the dynamic multimodal discourses.
