“…Systemic functional analysis has frequently been employed in multimodal translation studies. Examples include analyses of subtitles (e.g., Espindola, 2012;Mubenga, 2009Mubenga, , 2010, translations of advertisements (e.g., Feng & Espindola, 2013;Millán-Varela, 2004), children's picture books (Van Meerbergen, 2010) and magazines (Chueasuai, 2013). The prominence of the systemic functional approach to multimodality in translation research is also emphasised in Luis Pérez-González's article Multimodality in Translation and Interpreting Studies, written as a general introduction to the topic for A Companion to Translation Studies (2014b).…”

The study of multimodal phenomena calls upon translation scholars to cross disciplinary boundaries and adopt a range of theoretical and methodological approaches. The diversity of the multimodal landscape brings about research challenges that must be carefully addressed to ensure that these research efforts yield useful and credible results. This special issue is dedicated to a discussion on how to engage in multimodal translation research: how traditional research methods can be adapted and what kinds of novel approaches can be adopted or developed in order to deal with a diversity of multimodal data. In this introduction, we first discuss definitions of mode and multimodality and reflect on the nature of multimodality as a topic of research within Translation Studies. We then explain our rationale for dedicating the special issue to research methods and introduce three areas of multimodal translation research that, in our view, merit particular attention from a methodological point of view. Finally, we introduce the articles contained in this special issue.
