Making Sense: Reference, Agency and Structure in a Grammar of Multimodal Meaning

"This is a book that could only be written by authors such as Cope and Kalantzis, who have themselves lived through the sheer breadth of the lines of development they bring to readers' attention, making connections and leaps which would in the normal, more circumscribed, business of everyday research rarely occur." John A. Bateman, Journal of Pragmatics.

"Just as Moby Dick was not really a story about a whale but a story about everything, Making Sense is not really a theory of meaning, but a theory of everything and a whale of a story to boot." James Paul Gee, Regents' Professor and Mary Lou Fulton Presidential Professor of Literacy Studies, Arizona State University.

Adding Sense: Context and Interest in a Grammar of Multimodal Meaning

"Adding Sense is a unique book, focusing on 'sense' from many theoretical angles, including anthropology, semiotics, and psychology. It is as brilliant as it is comprehensive, showing how we must access various sources of insight to complete the picture of what sense is." Marcel Danesi, Professor of Semiotics and Linguistic Anthropology, University of Toronto.
