Nowadays, posters are full of various types of semiotic modes with their wide applications of multimodality. This phenomenon is reflected in real estate posters as well, therefore, this thesis hopes to explore their essence of using multimodality and discussing meaning construction of the real estate posters.展开更多

What people know exists in schemata hierarchies and this prior knowledge is activated when they encounter new information. Schema theory asserts that reading is an interactive process between the text and the reader. Such interaction involves the readers' prior knowledge of schemata and the actual information in the text. Only be constructing appropriate and meaningful schemata, can readers comprehend the text.展开更多

It is also a process of meaning interpretation and knowledge production, which exerts a great impact on the establishment of the world's cultural order. This paper discusses media discourse in intercultural communications theoretically from the perspective of knowledge production, media dialogue and meaning construction. It is suggested that an effective ideographic mechanism be developed and improved, and the essential meaning of Chinese culture be initiatively exported and integrated into a knowledge system of cognition and understanding about the world to promote the understanding and exchange between China and other countries and to help create an equal and reasonable world cultural order.展开更多

The elements listed in the system environment can contribute themselves only under the support of the whole system environment. Therefore, the effect of the meaning construction is really the coordination result between the elements of the system environment. It can effectively improve the training efficiency of the training of English guides of stone inscription relics.展开更多
