Abstract

This essay aims to discuss the tendency towards hybridity and the interface between image, writing, orality and movement. This is a scenario of multimedia productions that value the dilution of boundaries between languages. Writing, today, even more present in our daily lives through digital means of communication, finds itself intertwined with the characteristics of orality (the phatic function, the gestural character through pictorial and/or figurative resources) and image (the open semantics, drawings and typographic forms, writing as an image). Finally, we consider how lyric videos and kinetic typography use linguistic multimodalities as semantic creativity.
