The first book-length analysis of internet memes from the linguistic perspective, this study proposes a 'grammar of memes' as a new model to approach multimodal genres. Of interest to linguists, discourse analysts, and media scholars, the book investigates the role and nature of 'image-plus-text' discourse in contemporary communication.
