Multimodal Approaches to Chinese-English Translation and Interpreting
Interpreting impoliteness and over-politeness: An investigation into interpreters' cognitive effort, coping strategies and their effects
This paper investigates how politeness is treated in interpreter-mediated events and how the treatment is related to interpreters' pragmatic competence. An empirical study was conducted for this purpose, in which twenty-two professional and student interpreters were asked to work in a liaison interpreting mode. An analysis of the interpreters' cognitive effort involved (i.e. the interpreting process) and the coping strategies employed (i.e. the i…

A corpus-based study of stance-taking as seen from critical points in interpreted political discourse
Interpreted political discourse has remained underexplored in spite of the significant role played by interpreting in the recontextualisation of political discourse across languages and cultures. The present study, based on a corpus of interpreted political discourse from China, explores how the stance of the Chinese government is interpreted from Chinese to English. The parallel bilingual corpus comprises 15 transcribed press conferences of two …
Promoting moral values through entertainment: A social semiotic analysis of the Spring Festival Gala on China Central Television
The China Central Television (CCTV) Spring Festival Gala not only entertains hundreds of millions of Chinese on their most important holiday, but also promotes a national spirit and positive social values. This article proposes a social semiotic framework to elucidate discursive strategies for the construction of moral messages. It presents system networks to model specific strategies for constructing articulated and embedded moral values in the …
Emotion prosody and viewer engagement in film narrative: A social semiotic approach
This study adopts a social semiotic approach to model the dynamics of character emotion and the discursive mechanisms of viewer engagement in film narrative. Drawing upon the systemic functional semiotics (Halliday and Matthiessen, 2004), this paper proposes a metafunctional framework to elucidate how film characters’ emotions are ideationally construed, interpersonally enacted, and textually organized as a “prosody”. The explication of emotion p…
The multimodal representation of emotion in film: Integrating cognitive and semiotic approaches
This study provides a semiotic theorization of how emotion is represented in film to complement the cognitive approach, which focuses on how film elicits emotion from viewers. Drawing upon social semiotic theories and cognitive theories of emotion, we develop a multimodal framework in which filmic representation of emotion is seen as combinations of semiotic choices derived from cognitive components of emotion. The semiotic model is employed to i…
Representing emotive meaning in visual images: A social semiotic approach
Intertextual voices and engagement in TV advertisements
By analysing multimodal TV advertisements, this study aims to show how intertextual voices are exploited in advertising discourse to enhance persuasive power. Taking as their point of departure the assumption that all discourses are intertextual recontextualizations of social practice that draw on external voices from both specific discourses and discursive conventions, the authors identify two types of intertextual voice in TV advertisements: ch…
