Abstract

  This study aims to examine the implications of digital communication in expanding the definition of text from linguistic and cultural studies perspectives, focusing on Eid al-Fitr greetings in 2026 as the object of analysis. Traditionally, text has been understood as a linear linguistic structure centered on verbal elements. However, the rapid development of digital technology has transformed communication practices into multimodal forms that integrate various semiotic resources, including visuals, colour, typography, layout, audio, and animation. This study employs a qualitative approach using Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA) to investigate how meaning is constructed through the interaction of these semiotic modes in digital greeting messages. The findings reveal that text can no longer be confined to a purely verbal entity but must be understood as a complex and dynamic semiotic ensemble. Meaning is produced through the orchestration of multiple modes that function simultaneously and interdependently. Visual elements, such as religious symbols, colour schemes, and compositional design, play a dominant role in shaping audience interpretation and emotional engagement, often preceding verbal processing. Additionally, the study highlights the significant role of users within digital ecosystems as active producers (prosumers) who creatively combine semiotic resources to express religious identity, cultural values, and social relationships. Furthermore, digital Eid greetings function not only as religious expressions but also as social practices that maintain and strengthen interpersonal connections in virtual spaces. This transformation indicates a broader paradigm shift in communication, where texts become participatory, multimodal, and context-dependent. Consequently, this study contributes theoretically to the redefinition of text in the digital era and emphasizes the importance of multimodal approaches in analyzing contemporary communication practices.

Abstract

One change influenced by the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the advertising strategy in online media. Generative AI platforms ChatGPT and Jenni AI have used multimodal advertising to create a technological identity, keep users interested, and build public perceptions of AI-driven productivity and creativity. This study aims to analyze the interaction of text, visual, and modality elements in ChatGPT and Jenni AI ads through a multimodal discourse analysis approach.  A qualitative descriptive method with a multimodal approach developed by Kress and van Leeuwen, focusing on representational, interactive, and compositional meaning, was used in this study. The research data used were ChatGPT digital ads and Jenni AI. The results showed that both ads utilized the complex interaction between verbal and visual elements to construct persuasive meanings. The difference is that ChatGPT ads tend to highlight futuristic innovations, universal accessibility, and technological sophistication through minimalist visual design and inclusive text strategies.In contrast, Jenni AI's ads emphasize academic productivity, writing assistance, and efficiency through formal visuals and instructional linguistic features. In addition, elements of modalities such as color composition, typography, direction of view, and interface visualization contribute greatly to building audience engagement and ideological representation. This research shows that multimodal resources are not only used as a tool of persuasion but also as an ideological mechanism that shapes the public's understanding of AI technology in contemporary digital culture. This research contributes theoretically to the development of multimodal discourse analysis in the study of AI communication and practically increases critical awareness of multimodal strategies in digital advertising.
