Die semiotische Textologie von János S. Petőfi: ein theoretischer Rahmen für die Analyse von Comic Strips
Abstract:
After a short presentation of the main guidelines of the Semiotic Textology, including its concept of sign, and some reflections about the problems that have to be faced in analysing multimedia texts, this article aims to demonstrating the possibilities of Petőfi’s theory as a framework for the analysis of multimedia communication. For such purpose, we have chosen a comic strip of the all-the-world-around known Jim Davis’ cat Garfield and separated the different aspects suitable for the analysis according to this theory. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between the pictorial and the linguistic components, the two main semiotic systems in the construction of this kind of texts.
