Abstract
The transition from written press to digital press provides news of greater multimodality, so that different semiotic modes concur in the construction of meaning. In this study, we want to analyse the way the relationship between images and text is realized in specialized digital press on legislative and juridical topics, and how this relationship contributes effectively to the multimodal cohesion of these news items, thus constructing complex multimodal entities. To this effect, we applied the intersemiotic model proposed by Martinec and Salway (2005) to analyse the image-text relation of 30 news items of the digital version of the newspaper ABC. With this model, we account for the logico-semantic and intersemiotic relationship between image and the text within the news.Format
