Genre and Layout Design in Multimodal Documents: Towards an Empirical Account Pat Allen University of East London John Bateman University of Bremen Judy Delin University of Stirling AAAI Fall Symposium 1999

Overview Genre in Layout The Genre Space Approaching Genre Analysis: the Bird Book Conclusions and Future Directions

Genre in Layout Websites, magazines, instruction manuals, books, newspapers Clear generic constraints on how documents normally look: generate expectations for consumption strategies

Genre as Methodology Genre constraints intuitively understood but rarely articulated Genre description and comparison for accessing hidden assumptions about how documents look

The Genre Space Genre is conceived as sets of constraints on layout and function of graphical devices Radical extension of linguistic genre to include graphical expressions and practical constraints on their use (time, availability, cost) Genre as sets of intersecting, shifting and hybridising conventions, rather than discrete elements Possible then to ‘cross’ genres to generate new potential layouts, model cultural and historical shifts

The GeM Project Genre and Multimodality: A computer model of genre in document layout Designers advise on why their pages look the way they do: new sources of constraint (friction, news hierarchy, for example) Corpus of annotated documents using developing common layout description (Web, magazines, books, instructions, newspapers) Map out genre ‘space’ of parameters for description, test, modify, extend Tool for generating novel and existing layouts for evaluation by designers

Starting Points Typography and design Text generation Rhetorical structure theory Reichenberger et al’s (1996) ideas for generating layout, see also Bateman et al. (subm.)

Genre Analysis: Birds Navigation Functional differentiation of zones Range of graphical resources (type, graphics, pictures) Allocation of graphical resources to information types

Genre Analysis: Birds

Observations Low degree of diversification in earlier text Redistribution of information across modalities in most recent text Greater graphical differentiation in most recent text Genre has shifted in terms of the utilisation of graphical resources

Conclusions Mapping from communicative function to graphical resource a useful framework for document comparison Mappings, functions, and resources will change with genre Generic comparisons arrived at through same process with corpus of different document genres Possible to chart genre shifts across time and cultures

Future Directions Next steps: corpus collection and framework extension, annotation, principles for communicative function-graphical resource mappings Implementation of GeM layout tool that enables exploration of different document appearances across genres Planned extension to compare document appearances culturally and historically
