Emerging topics in translation: Audio description
2012
Editor(s)
Perego, Elisa
Abstract
The volume deals with several aspects of audio description for the blind
and sight impaired which came to the surface during the AD session
of the conference Emerging topics in translation and interpreting held at
the Department of Language, Translation and Interpreting Studies of
the University of Trieste, 16-18 June 2010. The topics dealt with in the
volume range from the more established (linguistic analysis of ADs in
various languages, strategies to overcome possible obstacles while audio
describing) to the very pioneering (need to depart from guidelines, textto-
speech audio description, reception research in AD, environmental
description). The contributions by well-known authors (Saveria Arma,
Bernd Benecke, Agnieszka Chmiel, Anna Jankowska, Riitta Lahtinen,
Nathalie Mälzer-Semlinger, Iwona Mazur, Pilar Orero, Russ Palmer,
Agnieszka Szarkowska) offer palatable food-for-thought to anyone
interested in media accessibility.
