Introduction
In this digital age, communication has evolved beyond traditional modes of text-based interaction to include various multimodal forms such as images, videos, emojis, and gifs. This shift has significant implications for how individuals convey meaning and make sense of messages in online interactions. Multimodal discourse in digital communication refers to the use of multiple modes of communication to create meaning and convey messages in digital spaces. This final project aims to explore the role of multimodal discourse in digital communication, examining how different modes interact to shape our understanding of digital messages.

Project Research Overview
Multimodal discourse in digital communication has become a pervasive aspect of our daily interactions in the digital sphere. This final project seeks to explore the dynamics of multimodal discourse in digital communication, focusing on how different modes of communication interact to shape meaning and convey messages online. The project will draw on a range of theoretical frameworks from semiotics to visual communication to analyze the complexity of multimodal messages in digital spaces.
The literature review will provide a comprehensive overview of existing scholarship on multimodal discourse, examining the evolution of digital communication, theoretical frameworks in multimodal communication, and the impact of visual and linguistic features on meaning-making in digital interactions. The research methodology will outline the design and procedures for data collection and analysis, including sampling techniques, data analysis procedures, and ethical considerations.
The discussion of findings will present an in-depth analysis of multimodal communication patterns, user perceptions of multimodal messages, and the implications of multimodal discourse for digital literacy and education. The project will conclude with a summary of key findings, contributions to existing literature, practical implications for digital communication, and recommendations for future research in the field of multimodal discourse in digital communication.
