The volume examines how different modes of communication - such as text, image, sound, and gesture - interact to create meaning in various contexts. This scholarly work focuses on the latest methodological and conceptual innovations in multimodality research, providing a comprehensive analysis of multimodal communication across diverse disciplines, including media studies, linguistics, and education. The contributors engage with key topics such as multimodal literacy, narrative structures, social semiotics, and technological mediation. Special attention is given to how these multimodal elements are analyzed and understood, offering both quantitative and qualitative approaches to studying multimodal texts. The book is an essential resource for researchers and students seeking to deepen their understanding of multimodal theory and its applications in analysing digital media, educational environments, and everyday communication. -- Contents: 1 Introduction: Rethinking Multimodality in the Twenty-first Century / Ognyan Seizov & Janina Wildfeuer; 2 Vectors / Morten Boeriis & Theo van Leeuwen; 3 The "Same" Meaning across Modes?
