Verbal and Visual Representations on Major Thai Original Equipment Cosmetics Manufacturers' Websites

The dataset consists of a (multimodal) critical discourse analysis of 15 Thai original equipment cosmetics manufacturers' websites.<br>
The analysis is divided into two parts: (i) a web-based analysis (i.e. written texts and static images), and (ii) interview data collected during semi-structured interviews.<br>
The companies sampled for the web-based analysis were selected from the list of ‘Beauty and Personal Care Suppliers’, which is available on Thailand's Department of International Trade Promotion, Ministry of Commerce website, on the ‘For Foreign Buyers’ category (web site viewable at: http://www.ditp.go.th/main.php?filename=suppliers_exporter&cid=12&mode=1). <br>
The interview data was obtained through the face-to-face semi-structured interviews conducted in Thailand (Bangkok and Nonthaburi provinces). The three interview respondents were management level employees from three separate companies.
