In this course we explore context, from the perspectives of register and genre, and multimodality (focussing on the grammar of images). In the morning sessions we will review Martin's proposals for the systems of periodicity, genre, field, tenor and mode. In the afternoon sessions we introduce SFL work on orientation, presentation, representation and ambience in images, and the challenge of exploring intermodality. As preparation all students should review the papers in Genre Studies and Register Studies, carefully read Genre Relations and Reading Images, and chapters 2 and 5 of Reading Visual Narratives.
