We argue that the evaluation of multimodal arguments needs to take into account the semiotic resources used to communicate them as well as the context in which they are produced and interpreted. Thus, in addition to the critical questions pertaining to the scheme that help assess the internal… read more
2017 Chapter 18. Analysing multimodal argumentation within the pragma-dialectical framework: Strategic manoeuvring in the front covers of The Economist Contextualizing Pragma-Dialectics, Eemeren, Frans H. van and Peng Wu (eds.), pp. 335–359 | Chapter
In this chapter, I argue that the theoretical assumptions and concrete analytical concepts of Pragma-dialectics constitute a fertile ground for the study of visual and multimodal argumentation. This is primarily because the pragma-dialectical theory takes a procedural, pragmatic and functional… read more

In this type of documentary, which renounces the use of voice-over narration and… read more

2002 Diglossic past and present lexicographical practices: The case of two Greek dictionaries Language Problems and Language Planning 26:3, pp. 219–252 | Article
The publication of a dictionary is a means to describe, codify and ultimately standardise a language. This process is complicated by the lexicographer’s own attitude towards the language and the public’s sensitivity on language matters. The recent publication of the two most authoritative… read more
