Visual and verbal texts and language teaching
With reference to language teaching, this research examines current trends in the combination of pictures and print. Assuming that when combined in texts, these utilize differential disclosures of visual and verbal feature, the research establishes some important provisos. Foremost among these is the stipulation that words and pictures do not communicate with each other in the same way. Thus although, on paper, they may be comprehensibly united, in their disclosure of features they remain mutually exterior and coded apart. Generalising from this, the study surveys other sources of exteriority in ELT. To investigate these, it is necessary to mediate across features which, though brought into contact, remain heterogeneously regulated and coded apart. Similarly, the researching of visual and verbal texts becomes a form of crosscultural arbitration. It therefore needs to account for (and bring into agreement) features extraordinarily combined. Since, by definition, these do not ordinarily communicate with each other in the same way, it is argued that they ought to be central to any field driven by considerations of foreignness. Because, for reasons of exteriority, the operandi of both linguistics and art history
