Why are Gary Larson's Far Side  cartoons funny? How do political cartoonists in India, Turkey, and the US get  their point across? What is the impact of English on comics written in other  languages?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThese questions and many more are answered in this volume, which  brings together the two fields of comics research and linguistics to produce  groundbreaking scholarship. With an international cast of contributors, the book  offers novel insights into the role of language in comics, graphic novels, and  single-panel cartoons, analyzing the intersections between the visual and the  verbal. Contributions examine the relationship between cognitive linguistics and  visual elements as well as interrogate the controversial claim about the status  of comics as a language. The book argues that comics tell us a great deal about  the sociocultural realities of language, exploring what code switching, language  contact, dialect, and linguistic variation can tell us about identity – from the  imagined and stereotyped to the political and real.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-05-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780230362826\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/9781137004109\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 216cm x140cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 310\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47431406616716,"sku":"9780230362826","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780230362826.jpg?v=1775887613","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780230362826","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
