Abstract

This article aims to point out some of the specificities of an approach that understands discourse relations in comics within a broader conceptualization of multimodal discourse. It lays out the theoretical foundations of these relations in philosophy, semiotics, and logic, and showcases how a small and concise set of these discourse relations can explain processes of reasoning in the interpretation of a comic.

This is the cover of Zeitschrift für Semiotik 45, 1-2 from the year 2023. The titel of the issue is "Innovative Methods in Multimodal Comics Research".
