四、讲座介绍：

In this talkProfessor Christian will examine projection — i.e. quoting and reporting whatpeople say and what they think — as an important strategy used in differentkinds of text (register, or genre).He will illustrate how it is achievedthrough language, but also how through language and visual semiotic systems(pictorial and filmic) together. For example, projection is important in newsreporting and in academic discourse, enabling reporters and scholars to sourceand attribute information; but it is also central to the construction ofstories, including comics and films. The illustrations will show thatprojection is a powerful resource extending well beyond the traditionaltreatment of direct and indirect speech and though.
