Task 2
Now, you will analyze the social functions of the
captions, by identifying the focus, the context, and the relationship with
their respective headlines.
To do this, you need to answer the
following questions:
1. What/Who is the
highlight of each caption?
2. How is the picture
contextualized?.
3. How does the caption
relate to the headlines?
Caption 1 has been analyzed for you as
an example. Study the example carefully, and then analyze all the other
captions.
Question 1:
1. What/Who is the
highlight of each caption?
The bolded words “winning duo” helps you
to know who or what your attention needs to be focused on. The picture shows
Kevin and Marcus holding their trophies with happy smiles. This is what the
picture highlights: Kevin and Marcus, winning the All England title again.
