| Abstract | "Television series are regarded as significant works of culture in today's society, which explains the increasing demand for their translations in order to reach larger audiences. This book focuses on one of the two most spread modes of audiovisual translation for this type of product, i.e. subtitling. Due to the naturalness presumably sought in television dialogue, the spoken-to-written medium conversion entailed in subtitling poses a challenge for professionals, who have been typically accused of neutralising the source material. Little to no empirical evidence, however, has been provided to effectively address this issue to date. This book offers a contrastive study of the American English television dialogue and the Castilian Spanish subtitles of three popular police procedurals, i.e. Castle (ABC, 2009), Dexter (Showtime, 2006), and The Mentalist (Warner Bros, 2008). After introducing some basic notions to frame the study (such as translational norms, the audiovisual text, and fictive orality), more than 20 lexical and morphosyntactic features in the series are considered from a qualitative and quantitative point of view. Throughout the chapters, a combination of corpus-based and corpus-driven methodologies is argued to form the basis for a sound, empirically-grounded characterisation of the language of these audiovisual products and their translation"-- Provided by publisher. |
