Images are texts which hold meanings in their depth. According to the theory of the grammar of visual images, language performs ideational, interpersonal, and textual metafunctions all at once. Kress and van Leeuwen (1996; 2006) expanded the same metafunction to include visual social semiotic resources and renamed it as A. Representational, B. Interactive, and C. Compositional. According to them, in order for the visual to serve as a full system of communication, it must fulfill a number of communicational (and representational) requirements. (2006). This research is based up on my thesis, under the title ‘’ Multimodality and Selected Egyptian Paintings: A Cognitive Analytical Study’’
