'Multimodal Discourse is the theoretical browser we need to navigate the exuberant multimodality of the highly mediated owrld in which we live. For students and specialists in communication or semiotics, cultural studies or linguistics, graphic design or anthropology this is the foundationla theory of how meaning is made in this period of increasing semiotic fragmentation and cross-over.' Ron Scollon, Professor of Linguistics, Georgetown
