metadata.value: The carnivalesque late Middle Ages, with passion for proverbs running through
  all its language strata and love for their visualisation not only through fine arts, but
  in book artwork as well, are a unique source of research data for the rapidly growing
  field of multimodality studies. Although verbal and iconic signs are different in nature,
  they supplement each other and interweave under the book covers of the time to form
  a semantic and pragmatic unity to influence the receptor holistically. It is worth noting
  here that the meaning of the “proverb” term is contingent in this context, as it was used
  by the philosophers, scientists, and literary figures of the time to refer to almost all
  manner of set phrases. Drawing from a variety of texts belonging to different genres,
  the article analyses the specifics of how the language and image components interact
  to create a hybrid semiotic complex. Studying the specifics of semiotic hybridisation
  as observed in the medieval texts is key to the further development of the historical
  phraseology as well, especially when it pertains to the issue of visualising persistent
  lexical complexes. Said significance derives from the fact that the so-called visualised
  phraseology may serve as a source for the historical phraseology research that would
  complement the phraseographical data, phraseology found in the literary work, and
  research insights. This research shows, on the one hand, how text and image of the
  early stages of the people’s culture and language development become one, and on the
  other hand how a set lexical unit and the image accompanying it synergise in a given
  hybrid textual space on both semantic and cognitive levels. Based on historical data,
  the article showcases how multimodality has become a complex semiotic phenomenon
  intrinsic to any society employing not only language, but other complex systems
  of signs as well. A complex lexico-semantic nature of the special semantics linguistic
  units being visualised is one of the key factors in rendering the interaction between
  these two modalities unique.
