The Visual Language of Comics
Introduction to the Structure and Cognition of Sequential Images. (Bloomsbury Advances in Semiotics)
by Dr Neil Cohn
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 ..."

Paperback, 376 Pages, Published 2016 by Bloomsbury Academic
ISBN-13: 978-1-4725-8559-2, ISBN: 1-4725-8559-3

"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 ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-4725-7791-7, ISBN: 1-4725-7791-4

"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 ..."

The Visual Language of Comics : Introduction to the Structure and Cognition of Sequential Images
by Neil Cohn
256 Pages, Published 2013 by A&C Black
ISBN-13: 978-1-4411-7451-2, ISBN: 1-4411-7451-6

"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 ..."

Paperback, 288 Pages, Published 2015 by Oxford University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-19-873645-5, ISBN: 0-19-873645-2

"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 ..."

by Neil Cohn
376 Pages, Published 2016 by Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN-13: 978-1-4725-7792-4, ISBN: 1-4725-7792-2

"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 ..."
