Based on Halliday’s (1985; 2010) systemic functional theory, this study has also proposed two new analytical frameworks to explore and describe linguistic creativity from a systemic functional perspective: the Creativity-In-Register Cube Framework (CIRCF) combines theories from Carter’s (2004) creativity matrix, Poynton’s (1985) three continua of tenor and Matthiessen’s (2009; 2015b) registerial cartography to form a multi-dimensional descriptive model for the representation of the probabilistic nature of linguistic creativity; the Analytical Framework for Creativity in Multimodal Texts (AFCMT) builds upon the notion of Halliday’s (1967) information status ‘new’ and ‘given’ and Halliday and Matthiessen’s (1999 [2006]) reference to establish the concept of Implicit (Assumed) & Explicit (Known), Endo-referenced & Exo-referenced (IEEE), which classifies creativity in terms of implicitness and reference type, and the Cline of Creativity Complexity (CCC), which explains the degree of creativity complexity using the concept of IEEE. Regarding the SFMDA approach, this study has adopted Halliday and Matthiessen’s ([1985] 2014) analysis of interpersonal meanings through SPEECH FUNCTION and MOOD analysis, as well as Bednarek’s (2010) multimodal analysis of mise-en-scène, nonverbal behaviour and acting. This study has demonstrated the steps and effectiveness in the computer-assisted extraction of linguistic creativity, and how statistical measures such as t-score and MI value may improve efficiency of the extraction process. Quantitative and qualitative analyses have revealed that several multimodal resources in House M.D. are involved in the construal of interpersonal meanings at the moments of linguistic ii iii creativity production, and that they are closely related to conversation type (register), field of activity / socio-semiotic process (field), location (field) and power (tenor). iii iv Research output arising from the thesis Journal articles: Law, L.

EVERYBODY LIES: A Discourse Analysis of Deceptions in TV Drama House M.D. vi vii Acknowledgements I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to my teacher, supervisor and great friend Professor Christian Matthiessen. He is the reason I decided to study a doctoral degree at PolyU. It was 17th November 2012 at the 18th Congregation ceremony. Prof. Matthiessen, then Head and Chair Professor, was at the right side of the stage calling out the names of students for their presentation of awards. To my disbelief, every one of the students before me, when their names are called, walked past Prof. Matthiessen and went straight to the Chancellor to bow and collect their degree certificate. I did not follow this routine. When Prof. Matthiessen called my name, I thanked him for his teaching, I bowed to him at 90°, then same to the audience, then again to the professors seated on the stage, before walking to the Chancellor. I was glad I started this because the others began to replicate the gesture. After the ceremony, it was Prof. Matthiessen who asked me if I would be interested in studying a PhD. Had he not asked me this question, I would have never considered entering this programme and this thesis would have never existed. It is a great honour to have Prof. Matthiessen as my chief supervisor. He is everything that any PhD students can possibly ask for. He is immensely knowledgeable, patient, motivating, encouraging and inspiring. Despite his hyper busy schedule, he has always managed to offer hours and hours of consultation to his students. He treats every one of my emails seriously, replying in the form of near-essays within minutes at his quickest,

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

INTRODUCTION As you walk through Grant Park on your way to downtown Chicago, you enjoy the ordered, natural splendor of two beautiful elliptical fields of wildflowers.2 The pleasure is further amplified by the seasonal transformation of nature's palette that brings forth a kaleidoscope of colors and patterns as new flowers emerge and older ones fade.3 Now, after twenty years of enjoying this park, one day you discover that sixty percent of the flowers have been destroyed, and those remaining have been abandoned to grow without care.'

In an overarching sense, I am informed by scholars like Lennard Davis and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick. According to Davis in Bending Over Backwards, the focus of Disability Studies is to re-imagine the body from the "ideology of normalcy" to a "vision of the body as changeable, unperfectable, unruly, and untidy" (39).1 In a similar drive to question normalcy, according to Kosofsky Sedgwick in Tendencies, Queer Studies is an antihomophobic inquiry that examines sexuality and gender as unstable categories that "aren't made (or can't be made) to signify monolithically"(8). These fields share the practice of interrogating identities that are written on the body through cultural inscriptions of "normalcy." In a culture mediated by film, television and print media, I seek to understand how stereotypical notions of sexuality as "straight/normal" and "gay/abnormal" are perpetuated, and likewise, .
