With  the  rapid  improvement  and  increasing  prevalence  of  modern  technology,  a variety of semiotic systems have been used to spread and exchange information as they can  make  up  for  the  meanings  that  language  itself cannot  convey,  which  consequently makes  expression  become  more  complete,  explicit  and  accurate  than  ever.  Therefore, more  and  more  linguists  and  scholars  set  out  to  explore  the  roles  which  all  sorts  of semiotic  systems  have  been  playing  in  various  discourses  and  as  a  result,  multimodal discourse analysis becomes a research concern. Before  the  term  of  multimodality  is  formed,  some  vague  concepts  have  been  put forward by linguists.
