Jakobson 1960, 1966), and to seek potential paths to expand it to multimodal analyses of natural discourse by incorporating the ideas from ethnopoetics (Hymes 1981, 1996, 2003) and gesture studies (McNeill 1992, 2005); and second, to present a sample analysis of media discourse in the framework of “multimodal ethnopoetics” by highlighting the interplay between the verbal-nonverbal coordination and the audio-visual representations.
