Review

"Covering the major approaches to multimodality, the book presents a comprehensive and meaningful introduction to the state of the art in multimodality. Intended primarily for undergraduate and graduate classroom use, it is written in a highly digestible way without the difficult diction which is common in other such publications, hence rendering the reading enjoyable."Song Guo in: Discourse Studies 2017, Vol. 19 (1) 111-127
