The Visual Language of Comics Introduction to the Structure and Cognition of Sequential Images. (Bloomsbury Advances in Semiotics) by Dr NeilCohn Paperback, 240 Pages, Published 2014 by Bloomsbury Academic ISBN-13: 978-1-4411-8145-9, ISBN: 1-4411-8145-8
"Drawings and sequential images are an integral part of human expression dating back at least as far as cave paintings, and in contemporary society appear most prominently in comics. Despite this fundamental part of human identity, little work has explored the comprehension and cognitive underpinnings of visual narratives until now. This work presents a provocative theory: that drawings and sequential images are structured the same as la ..."
"Sequential images are as natural at conveying narratives as verbal language, and have appeared throughout human history, from cave paintings and tapestries right through to modern comics. Contemporary research on this visual language of sequential images has been scattered across several fields: linguistics, psychology, anthropology, art education, comics studies, and others. Only recently has this disparate research begun to be incorpo ..."

"America faces its greatest threat since the Civil War. The worst fears of the Founders are being realized, as powerful corporate interests have taken over our culture and representative government. We the People now face a fundamental choice: take back our country . . . or do nothing, and become victims of tyranny and empire. Thom Hartmann, the acclaimed author of Unequal Protection and The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight, tells a ..."

"Heinz Weber's approach explicitly places itself as a component of textlinguistics,
asking questions concerning the textlinguistic notions of connection, coherence
and cohesion and their possible application to comics (cf. de Beaugrande and
Dressler, 1981). Working towards this, he also draws extensively on previous
work from film theory, therefore exploring further the transmedial and crossmedial
properties of comics as a visual me ..."

"This silent penultimate panel is actually part of a larger pattern, coined by artist
Neal von Flue (2004) as the “set-up–beat–punchline” pattern (the SBP
construction). It begins with panels “setting up” the humorous dialogue or
situation, only to then give a “beat” or “pause” with a panel that has no text in it.
Finally, the last panel delivers the punchline of the joke, as in Figure 3.8a.2
Figure 3.8b shows further evidence that ..."
"Hailed as a "masterpiece" (Nature) and as "the most important book in the sciences of language to have appeared in many years" (Steven Pinker), Ray Jackendoff's Foundations of Language was widely acclaimed as a landmark work of scholarship that radically overturned our understanding of how language, the brain, and perception intermesh. A User's Guide to Thought and Meaning is Jackendoff's most important book since his groundbreaking Fou ..."
"The surface of a comic page offers a somewhat less rigorous lineation of the text;
panels may sometimes be laid out in sequential arrangements that are atypical to
standard written texts. For example, Carel Moiseiwitsch (1991), in her comic '
Priapic Alphabet', arranges her panels alphabetically by the first letter of
whatever is pictured or implied in each panel; ergo, the panel featuring a prisoner
(P) precedes a panel for quadrip ..."
"This volume offers new research in cognitive science by leading scholars, exploring different areas of cognition with an emphasis on language.
