2024年1至4月我先参加了上海同济大学的“全国多模态与功能语言学学术研讨会”,后参加了国防科技大学的“人工智能时代的多模态研究军事应用研讨会”。这表明多模态研究在国内外已成为当代学术界的重点研究对象。本文主要就有关多模态概念的内涵、时代性、融合和主体模态、碎片化发表自己的认识。最后汇报一下本人已经做过的一些与多模态有关的研究课题。

During the period of January and April 2024, I successively participated in two national conferences, that is, “National Symposiium on Multimodality and Functional Linguistics” held by Shanghai Tongji University, and “Symposium on Military Application of Multimodality during the AI Era”held by National University of Defence Technology. The two symposiums indicated that the research of multimodality has become one of the key research subjects. This paper is aimed at discussing those topics about the concept of multimodality, such as connotation, contemporality, fusion, chief mode,and fragmentality. Finally, I report some of my research topics concerning multimadalty.
