Abstract

ABSTRACT Nowadays, research on multimodal discourse analysis is very interesting to be analyzed. For this case, that’s why multimodal discourse analysis is the best approach to use in this research because, in MDA, the deep understanding of the combination of verbal elements, visual elements, and image in the covers will be analyzed and also supported by systemic functional linguistic in focusing linguistic aspect from the object. The objectives of this research is to describe the representational meaning of visual resources in the covers of selected English textbooks and how the verbal modes and visual modes strengthen each others meaning in the covers of selected English textbooks. This is a qualitative research using a multimodal discourse analysis framework. Visual and verbal data were obtained from five covers of selected English textbooks. Visual data were analyzed by representational meaning by Kress & van Leeuwen. The analysis is completed with Cheong’s Generic Structure of Potential in analysing the structure of the covers of selected English textbook. Meanwhile, the intermodal meaning relations were viewed from Intersemiotic Complementarity proposed by Royce. The research found that the covers had all the representational meaning those are narrative representation and conceptual representation. Narrative representation which includes action process (17,19%), reactional process (56,25%), mental process (7,81%), verbal process (14,06%), and conversion process (4,69%). Conceptual representation which includes classificational process (23,08%), analytical process (38,46%), symbolic process (38,46%). The visual components of the covers include lead, display, and emblem. Whereas in terms of verbal components of the covers include announcements and emblem. Verbal and visual modes support each other to form cohesion through the relations of repetition (33,33%), synonymy (33,33%), and meronymy (33,33%). With the cohesion, the verbal texts of the covers strengthen the visual images and vice versa. Cooperation between verbal texts and visual images is to deliver the messages of the covers to the viewers. Keywords: Covers, English Textbooks, Intersemiotic Complementarity, Multimodal Discourse Analysis, Representational Meaning.
