Simone Heekeren
Multimodal Texts in Science Communication (Working Title)

Simone Heekeren's dissertation project deals with multimodal articles in popular science journals in which visualizations of various kinds play an important role. The focus of the project is on the use, processing and recontextualization of scientific images to communicate research findings. The semantic potential and thus their functions in multimodal texts can only be achieved in interaction with other semiotic resources, so that especially the intra- and intertextual references between linguistic and image components are taken into account.
The aim of the project is to propose a description model for multimodal practices of visualizing and popularizing scientific knowledge.

In this context Simone Heekeren is also a member of the DFG network Multimodalität in Wissensformaten (MWissFo) (2020-2023).
