“What do you see as the relationship between multimodality and genre?”

Multimodality is the idea that a message can be communicated by means other than just language, and combining multiple modes of communication into one. Multimodality utilizes communication through textual, aural, linguistic, spatial, and visual resource modes. Different modes include newspapers, magazines, social media, news on television, etc.

Genre is a category of literary composition. Literary genres are determined generally by the content of a piece of literature. Types of literary genre include poetry, fiction, and non-fiction.

The relationship between multimodality and genre is that they both are concepts of communicating a message in different ways.
