Abstract

This paper analysed some selected cartoons from TELL news-magazines. The purpose was to describe the visual components and communicative devices employed by the cartoonist to send his message to the viewer/readers. The cartoons essentially were used to satirise represented phenomenon that arose through intrigues that characterised Nigeria 2015 Presidential elections. Data for the study were drawn from both primary and secondary sources. The main data for the study comprised 3 colour cartoons purposively selected from different editions of TELL news-magazines published in 2015. The selection of the cartoons was predicated upon the subject under consideration. Analysis of the data is based on multimodal discourse analysis as explicated by Gunter Kress and Theo Van Leeuwen (2001). The result showed that semiotic resources such as colour, image, symbols and icons, gaze and posture enhance the semantic quality of the cartoons. This study revealed very strongly and established the potentials of visual images to convey meaning beyond the verbal language in any human society

尼日利亚2015年总统选举:TELL新闻杂志精选漫画的多模态话语解读

本文对《TELL》新闻杂志中精选的一些漫画进行了分析。目的是描述漫画家用来向观众/读者传达信息的视觉成分和交流设备。这些漫画基本上是用来讽刺尼日利亚2015年总统选举中通过阴谋引起的代表性现象。该研究的数据来自一手和二手来源。本研究的主要数据包括从2015年出版的TELL新闻杂志的不同版本中有意选择的3幅彩色漫画。漫画的选择是根据所考虑的主题而定的。数据的分析基于Gunter Kress和Theo Van Leeuwen(2001)所阐述的多模态语篇分析。结果表明，颜色、图像、符号和图标、凝视和姿势等符号资源增强了漫画的语义质量。这项研究非常强烈地揭示并确立了视觉图像在任何人类社会中传达超越口头语言的意义的潜力
