【Abstract】When people communicate，they do not only use language，that is，a single mode of communication，but also simultaneously use body languages，eye contacts，pictures，etc，which is called multimodal communication.The multimodal communication，as a matter of fact，is the most natural way of communication.Therefore，in order to make a complete discourse analysis，all the modes involved in an interaction or discourse should be taken into account and the new analysis framework for Multimodal Discourse Analysis ought to be created to move forward such type of analysis.In this passage，the author makes a tentative move to shape a new analysis framework for Multimodal Discourse Analysis.
【Keywords】Analysis Framework for Multimodal Discourse Analysis； Systemic-functional Grammar； Sigrid Norris’s framework of Multimodal Discourse Analysis
Multimodal communication is the most common and natural communication.It occurs in human beings’ daily lives，with several modes of communication combining together to express the individual’s meaning.When analyzing a discourse or interaction，all the modes of communication involved in the discourse or interaction should be taken into consideration so that the analysis can be complete.This is what Multimodal Discourse Analysis do.In this passage，a combined analysis framework is to be introduced，that is，the combination of Systemic-functional Grammar and Sigrid Norris’s framework of Multimodal Discourse Analysis.Systemic-functional Grammar is used to analyze the language while the other modes of communication involved in the videos are to be analyzed with Sigrid Norris’s framework of Multimodal Discourse Analysis.
1.The Reasons of Building a Combined Analysis Framework
In recent years，the researches on Multimodal Discourse Analysis have developed by leap and bounds.However，a complete theoretical framework for analyzing all modes of communication is not available due to the multimodal communication’s interdisciplinary nature.Multimodal communication is not concerned with one discipline but with several ones.The scholar who intends to build a complete theoretical framework for Multimodal Discourse Analysis is required to be versed in many disciplines，which hinders the advent of such a theoretical framework.In the field of Multimodal Discourse Analysis，most scholars focused their researches on specific parts of multimodal communication，which has made great achievements in certain modes，like picture or language but obviously it is not enough.In the author’s view，a whole and complete analysis framework for Multimodal Discourse Analysis has to be shaped since usually a discourse or interaction is a unity with several modes of communication glued together.Therefore，in this passage，the author makes a tentative move to shape a new framework for the Multimodal Discourse Analysis，that is，the combination of Systemic-functional Grammar and Sigrid Norris’s framework of Multimodal Discourse Analysis.Systemic-functional Grammar is used to analyze the language while the other modes of communication involved in the discourse or interaction are to be analyzed with Sigrid Norris’s framework of Multimodal Discourse Analysis. 2.Theoretical Support for the Combined Analysis Framework
Sigrid Norris’s framework of analyzing the multimodal communication is founded on the Interactional Sociolinguistics while M.A.K Halliday’s Systemic-functional Grammar belongs to the category of social semiotics.The Interactional Sociolinguistics has a deep and close relation with Systemic-functional Grammar.
Their relation can be traced back to the origin of the western linguistics.In the history of the western linguistics，there were two kinds of conflictive points.One was represented by Protagoras and Plato，and the other was represented by Aristotle （Hu Zhuanglin，Zhu Yongsheng
