Multimodality and Software
Theo van Leeuwen, Emilia Djonov · The Encyclopedia of Applied Linguistics · 2012

This includes features invisible to the average computer user such as algorithms, text files written by programmers in source code, and their translations into computer‐executable, binary, code.
