视觉诗“Me up at does”多模态意义的构建 摘要：传统的文学批评对视觉诗歌褒贬不一。本文首先简要地回顾了目前此类诗歌分析方法的不足，据此提出了视觉诗歌多模态话语分析模式。 在此基础上，以系统功能语言学和多模态话语分析为理论框架，对e. e. cummings 的可视诗“Me up at does”进行了模态分解、单模态意义构建、多模态意义整合的尝试性研究。研究重点：1) 可视模态的再现、互动意义、构图意义；2）文字模态的概念、人际、语篇功能； 3) 多模态意义的整合。研究验证了以下观点：1) 多模态话语分析理论是系统的、全面的解读视觉诗歌的最佳途径；2）多模态话语分析的意义在于它可以将语言和其他相关的意义资源整合起来(Gibbon 2000) , 从而使话语意义的解读更加全面、更加准确。希望此研究对视觉诗的多模态分析有一定的启示。 关键词：多模态化；模态分解；单模态意义构建；多模态意义整合；视觉诗 On the Multimodality of the Visual Poem “Me up at does” Abstract：Opinions about “visual poetry” have differed among traditional literary criticists. After providing a brief review of deficiencies of the hitherto text-based analyses of such poems, the writer proposes tentatively a model of multimodal approach to visual poems based upon the theory of systemic functional grammar and the theory of multimodality. e. e cummings’ poem “Me up at does” is taken as an example in the study because it has seldom been chosen to be analyzed in this way. It is analyzed following a strict procedure in the study, namely, multimodal decomposition, mono-modal meaning construe, and multimodal meaning integration. The particular focuses of the study are laid on the following aspects: 1) the construe of representational meaning, interactive meaning, and compositional meaning embodied in the visual modality of the poem; 2) the analyses of ideational function, interpersonal function, and textual function presented in the verbal modality of the poem; 3) and the integration of meaning textured in the poem. It is proved by the study that multimodal approach proves a systemic and a more thorough way in interpreting poems of such. Meanwhile, it further verifies the fact that multimodal analytic approach to language integrates language and language related resources (Gibbon et al, 2000). Thereafter, it makes discourse interpretation more comprehensive and approximative. Hopefully, the provoking result of this study will inspire further studies on multimodal a
