MULTIMODALITY AS A DEVOLOPMENT FACTOR OF LITERACY IN MULTILITERACIES

In modern times, important and rapid changes are taking place in the composition of societies, concerning the need and the way of communication between their members. Within this transformational context, language is not the only semiotic communication system. Various semiotic ways with various ways of representation (image, sound, movement, etc.) are offered, in combination and synchronization with each other, in order to create multimodal meanings. In this way the multimodal communication is achieved, which is distinguished by an important dynamic since more than one sense (sight, hearing, etc.) participate in it, at the same time. As a result, it is necessary for individuals to develop specific skills, of multitasking, in order to cope with the understanding / creation of multimodal messages. The purpose of this article is the theoretical approach to the meaning of multimodality as well as to highlight its role in the need to develop literacy in multiliteracies.
