A Study on the Mentalities of Comfort Women in Twenty Two based on Multimodal Discourse Analysis  多模态话语分析视角下《二十二》中慰安妇的心理研究  摘要 今天，多模态话语分析被广泛地用来分析各种文艺作品，例如小说、戏剧、电影、音乐等。语言学家Kress认为语篇是社会语境中所存在的所有符号系统的总和，不仅包括语言，还包括文字、图像、颜色等视觉符号，还有音乐、音响等听觉符号系统，Kress 和Van在韩礼德的语言三大元功能基础上构建了视觉语法理论框架，提出了图像表达的三种意义功能：再现意义、互动意义和构图意义。本文以Kress和Van Leeuwen的视觉语法为框架，研究电影《二十二》的多模态话语分析并最终得出有关幸存慰安妇对于自身经历的真实想法的结论。 关键词：多模态；话语分析；视觉语法；电影 Abstract Today, we have seen the multimodal discourse analysis is being applied into the study of novels, dramas, movies, music, and the like. Linguist Kress holds that discourses contain all symbolic systems in social context, including, except for language, visual symbols (words, images and colors, etc) and hearing symbols(music, audio, etc). Kress and Van Leeuwen proposed visual grammar on the basis of Halliday's three meta-functions, believing there are three meaning functions in image representation: representational meaning, interactive meaning and compositional meaning. Based on Visual Grammar, this thesis will analyze the multimodal discourse analysis of the movie Twenty Two. Finally, we will know what the real thoughts of those survived force-to-be comfort women are in the movie.

Under the background of this, the movie Twenty Two hit the theatre in 2017. Previous studies on movies are not rare, but this movie has little researchers. This thesis takes the comfort women-based movie Twenty Two into consideration. It will generally introduce the results of previous works and focus on the use of multimodalities to see how they work in Twenty Two. 1.2 Objectives of the study This thesis tries to explore how multimodal discourse analysis helps explain the movie Twenty Two to the audience under Kress and Van leeuwen's visual grammar. Here we will mainly talk about the representational meaning, interactive meaning and compositional meaning of images. It is to firstly give brief information about the movie and its background and then explains how multimodalities work respectively and together for the target movie. Hopefully, it will provide answers to the following questions: 1) What are the representational meaning, interactive meaning and compositional meaning of the images in the movie Twenty Two? 2) How do different modalities work in displaying the sufferings and current status of those women victims under Visual Grammar?  3) What do the comfort women really need according to the analysis result of the movie, apologies and compensation? Or inner peace?  1.3 Outline of the thesis Chapter 1 gives a general introduction to the background, objectives and outline of the thesis. Chapter 2 gives an introduction of the target movie Twenty Two as well as previous works in multimodal discourse analysis and its application in movie studies abroad and at home. Chapter 3 provides study methods and the theoretical framework— qualitative analysis and Visual Grammar by Kress and Van leeuwen. Chapter 4 will answer the questions proposed and to analyze the representational meaning, interactive meaning and compositional meaning of the selected images of the movie. Meanwhile, to conclude what these survived forced-to-be comfort women really need and what their real thoughts are towards their sufferings in the War against the Japanese. Chapter 5 concludes the study. Chapter 2 Literature Review This part will give a brief review about the previous achievements in the field of multimodal discourse studies both at home and abroad, the documentary Twenty Two and the progress in discourse analysis of film at present, so that we can have a good understanding about the current research. 2.1 A review of the Movie Twenty Two As an outstanding Chinese-based documentary film, Twenty Two, named after the number of Chinese comfort women who were still alive at the time when the film was shooting in 2014, hit the theatres on August, 14, 2017 against the
