Biography
Maria Grazia Sindoni is Assistant Professor of English Language and Translation at the University of Messina, Italy.
"Sindoni has made a significant contribution to the application of a multimodal approach to understanding the nature of spoken and written discourse in online interactions by developing a new methodology for the collection and analysis of digital, visual and video data in digital environments within social research" - The Birmingham Journal of Literature and Language
"Sindoni's volume [...] provides a substantial example of how to integrate perpectives that are commonly considered as divergent, with the ultimate goal of studying a complex phenomenon such as digital textuality" - Ilaria Moschini in LEA
"Sindoni’s solid and reasoned approach provides scope for implementing and adapting her methodologies and frameworks to new and related texts. Overall, the volume is rich in ideas and inspiring in terms of proposed theoretical and analytical frameworks based on solid data collection and analysis." - Junyu Zhang and Wendy L. Bowcher, Sun Yat-sen University, China in Learning, Media, and Technology
