Abstract

This study traces the extent to which visual language has been studied in research in order to provide a new concept of how visual language is studied and how the new concept is applied to research for future researchers who want to investigate further about visual language. The data was collected through research articles on visual language published from 1997 to 2022. The results showed that visual language has been studied in media such as, images, comics, books & magazines, videos & animations, posters & info graphics, motifs, logos & brands, packaging designs, and writing. Studies that have been carried out have not revealed how visual language is used in video thumbnails on YouTube. In addition, most previously conducted studies on visual language discuss the language using only one scientific approach so as to potentially inhibit the possibility of new findings that can bring benefits globally. Therefore, the researchers suggested to subsequent researchers to uncover how visual language is used in YouTube video thumbnails and examine the signifier and signified contained in them so as to integrate the disciplinary approaches of Visual Communication Design and Linguistics, especially Semiotics.
