摘要

Multimodality has become a new fast-developing research field due to its interdisciplinary and inclusive properties. This paper is organized into two main sections: one dedicated to exploring the origins and theoretical formation of multimodal discourse analysis, and the other to giving illustrations about multimodality research situations, addressing a series of published developments(including authored books, edited collections, and journal articles ranging from 1994 to 2019). The review is arranged in a chronological and selective way, using both English-language and Chinese sources. Following Sigrid Norris(2016), a simple time-division approach is taken;the evolution of multimodality is generally classified as initial, more established, and new stages.
