Multimodality
is the assemblage of different modes to convey a message. One uses these modes
to portray the ideas, feelings, and meaning behind a specific message. I would
define modes as the composition and what goes into a meaning or message. So a
news website has several modes because it is made up of words, page layouts,
graphics, images, etc.
Although
Wysocki made a point to state that he agrees with Kress, he goes into greater
detail and expands farther on the topic of modes, what people expect to see,
and time. Kress asks the question what are the limits for people to read a
layout and understand the message while Wysocki wants to think past that and
start to think where can we not be limited. He believes some of Kress’ points
are incomplete because of this. Space and time have an impact on how we
understand the context of a message and Wysocki wants to play more into the
ideas behind that theory and push the limits on them.
