Intersemiotic translation as a pedagogy for cyberbullying awareness
This article examines intersemiotic translation as a pedagogy for raising awareness of cyberbullying through a classroom workshop based on UNICEF’s One Shot is Enough poster campaign. Thirty-four Greek university students translated the English captions into Greek while interpreting the posters’ photographic execution metaphors, smartphone imagery, and image-text relations. Drawing on intersemiotic translation, multimodal translation, critical pe…
Translating the mythology of motherhood
Social semiotics is brought into dialogue with translation studies to examine how cultural myths of motherhood, as circulated in contemporary advertising and magazine covers, are made publicly legible through maternity dress codes. A purposive corpus of 20 publicly available artefacts (10 advertisements; 10 magazine covers; 2014–2025) was sampled for explicit pregnancy visibility and for the semiotic centrality of dress. Analytically, the article…
(We) Stay at [Your] Home
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Greek Ministry of Health launched a campaign titled “ΜΕΝΟΥΜΕ ΣΠΙΤΙ” [MENOUME SPITI (WE STAY AT HOME)] to encourage citizens to stay home in order to prevent the virus from spreading. The campaign gained social media traction as the government announced further precautionary measures, including the suspension of civil services and public gatherings, the cancelation of national and religious festivities, a…

Intersensorial translation of coughing-and-sneezing in an epidemic social context
The British Ministry of Health’s poster campaign Coughs and Sneezes Spread Diseases brought World War II to the British home front by making it personal and served as a visual call to arms for civilians. Although involving visual materials, the campaign provides a case for examining how posters engage people’s extra-visual senses in responding to this call. By using the concepts of intersensoriality and synaesthetic metaphor, we discuss the possi…
The semiotic web of the research proposal
Signs in the early stages of research (e.g. pathways, thoughts/ideas, and structured feedback) form a web that we call the semiotic web of the research proposal . This web is based on the unlimited semiosis of signs, the semiotic square of education, and the semiotic web of law. We start weaving this web by formulating a raw thought and a number of research ideas. Βy travelling various pathways, we develop patterns of thinking which in turn lead …
Eye-tracking the semiotic effects of layout on viewing print advertisements
The print advertisement produces meaning for its readers through the interaction of a complex system of semiotic elements. Understanding this meaning is based on readers’ ability to follow the established reading conventions of their culture. The article describes a study that uses eye-tracking technology to examine readers’ interaction with the semiotic elements of two print advertisements. The relation between print advertisements and semiotics…
The Visual Aspect of Translation Training in Multimodal Texts
This paper explores the wider issue of translation training in multimodal contexts. The multimodal text represents a complex semiotic canvas on which the various systems of signification (verbal, images, colour, layout, etc.) interact in complex ways to produce a coherent meaning. Such interactions affect translation students’ understanding of multimodal texts and as such their training must also be visually-oriented in order to improve their tra…
Mediating between verbal and visual semiotic elements in the translation of English multimodal texts into Greek
George Damaskinidis Punctum, 1(2): 22-38, 2015 DOI: 10.18680/hss.2015.0013 Abstract The article examines the relation of verbal to visual semiotic elements, and proposes a mediation-based codification for intersemiotic translation. The examination takes place in the context of the growing interest in problematizing the verbal-visual divide in the translation of multimodal texts and the need for a greater [...]
