ABSTRACT

This chapter examines engagement from an intersemiotic perspective, by considering how verbal, mathematical, and visual resources are co-deployed and integrated. The first section examines intersemiotic engagement in a single text, while the second section takes a broader approach, looking at intersemiotic engagement across the various generic stages and phases of the medical research article as a whole. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the potential relations between intersemiotic engagement and the disciplines and ideologies of medical research.
