A Constructive and Interpretive Model for Multimodal Metaphors from a Systemic Functional Perspective
This article studies the model for constructing and interpreting multimodal metaphors based on the theoretical principles used within systemic functional linguistics.Firstly,it explores the congruent and the metaphorical modes of multimodal metaphors,and examines the motivations for the emergence of the metaphorical.Then,it studies the theoretical model used to construct multimodal metaphors,including the basic features of the place of analogy in multimodal metaphors,and the creation of new signs and contexts in the construction of multimodal metaphors.Finally,it proposes the idea that embedded contexts can be employed in the construction and interpretation of multimodal metaphors,and establishes a framework for constructing and interpreting embedded contexts in multimodal metaphors.The findings suggest that the key to constructing and interpreting multimodal metaphors lies in constructing an appropriate analogy between tenor and vehicle,and the effective interpretation of this analogical relationship.The emergence of each multimodal metaphor involves the creation of new signs and contexts.The most effective way to formulate and interpret the multimodal metaphor is to construct an embedded context based on the vehicle,in order to improve accuracy and comprehension in constructing and understanding the multimodal metaphor,and to choose the most appropriate modes or modal integration for realizing the multimodal metaphor.
