How are audiovisual translations made and received? This is just one of the
questions this book offers answers to. Bringing together research on
various forms of audiovisual translation, the range of issues treated is
wide: How are discourse features translated in dubbed and subtitled
programmes? Does subtitling enhance foreign language learning? Can the
quality of audiovisual translation be assessed in a relevant way? What
should we know about the audience? How should we audio describe?
Audiovisual Translation in Close-up addresses these issues from a variety
of perspectives: from discourse analysis and pragmatics to cognitive
science, second language acquisition, actor-network theory and speech
recognition, amongst others.
Most contributions to this volume originate from the international
bilingual conference «Audiovisual Translation: Multidisciplinary Approaches
/ La traduction audiovisuelle : Approches pluridisciplinaires» held in
Montpellier, France, in 2008.
