“…The interplay between different modes of communication makes comics more than an ideal subject for the application of multimodal theories and analysis. As expected, several scholars have addressed various possibilities for using aspects of multimodality in investigating comic books (e.g., Bateman et al 2017;Bateman & Wildfeuer 2014;Cohn 2013;Cohn & Schilperoord 2023;Dunst et al 2018;Forceville 2021;Tasić & Stamenković 2022. Different authors (or groups of authors) offer different and often divergent views, but there are links between comics and multimodality that seem to exist on a level not aligned with any of the existing theoretical and methodological approaches.…”

Employing the theoretical framework that represents a unique amalgam of the domains of multimodality, intermediality, transmedia storytelling and adaptation, the paper analyses the process of medial transposition of the folk fairy tale Baš-Čelik, primarily into Đorđe Lobačev’s comic book of the same name (1939/1989), and then into Petar Meseldžija’s 2008 illustrated book The Legend of Baš-Čelik (orig. Legenda o Baš-Čeliku). The paper presents verbal and graphic tools used by these authors in adapting the original text from a monomodal into multimodal media, with a special focus on three research directions. The first is the manner in which the compositional structure of the fairy tale is transferred into the comic and the illustrated book, with the aim of assessing the level of fidelity in these adaptations. The second direction is related to the most important narrative and stylistic differences (e.g., language and tone of narration). The third direction deals with the use of certain comics-specific techniques and resources, such as page layout, use of colour for emphasis, representation of speed and motion, and the presence or absence of particular graphic devices (upfixes and pictorial runes). Finally, the adaptations themselves are compared to each other, highlighting the major similarities and differences between them.

The paper explores various aspects of conceptualization based on motion-related image schemas and their combinations. It does so based on a custom-made and self-annotated linguistic corpus belonging to the journalistic register in Serbian, used for obtaining various descriptive and inferential statistical data interpreted qualitatively. It demonstrates that image schemas exhibit a marked clustering tendency and that they appear to interact with one another and with the categorical variables (newspaper, topic) in non-trivial ways. It reinterprets scale as a higher order principle (rather than an image schema per se) specifying the intensity with which other schemas occur. This, in turn, has enabled formalization of intensities of individual image schemas participating in the established image schema complexes, with important consequences for further research, including the exploration of the dynamic nature of schema interaction and meaning construction not only in language but also other semiotic domains.
