Syntax and the body: the structuring of language in multimodal sense-making

A meticulously stacked arrangement of hardcover linguistics books with sleek, neutral-toned dust jackets, featuring subtle embossed titles and clean lines, placed on a crisply organized glass desk. The desk sits within a bright, contemporary corporate office lined with minimalist shelving and muted gray walls. Soft daylight pours in through large windows, casting diffused illumination evenly over the books and workspace while gentle shadows add dimension. The image exudes an atmosphere of order, professionalism, and intellectual focus, with a centered composition shot at desk height for visual clarity. The visual style is photographic realism with a clean, modern, and structured layout, perfectly aligning with the site's educational and research-driven purpose.
