Drawings and sequential images are an integral part of human expression dating back at least as
far as cave paintings, and in contemporary society appear most prominently in comics. Despite
this fundamental part of human identity, little work has explored the comprehension and cognitive
underpinnings of visual narratives-until now.
This book presents a provocative theory: that drawings and sequential images are structured
in a similar way to language. Building on contemporary theories from linguistics and cognitive
psychology, it argues that comics are written in a visual language of sequential images that
combines with text. Like spoken and signed languages, visual narratives use a lexicon of
systematic patterns stored in memory, strategies for combining these patterns into meaningful
units, and a hierarchic grammar governing the combination of sequential images into coherent
expressions. Filled with examples and illustrations, this book details each of these levels of
structure, explains how cross-cultural differences arise in diverse visual languages of the world,
and describes what the newest
neuroscience
research reveals about the brain s comprehension
of visual narratives. From this emerges the foundation for a new line of research within the
linguistic and cognitive sciences, raising intriguing questions about the connections between
language and the diversity of human expressive behaviors in the mind and brain.
