“…The CBTS within the AVT is mainly focused on regularities, irregularities, and variability, as well as innovation in the translation process and products for various AVT modalities (e.g. the authenticity of the language of dubbing, the sociolinguistic and pragmatic parameters of the language of dubbing, the narrative aspects of audio description) (Romero-Fresco, 2006Freddi, 2013;Hurtado and Soler, 2013;Špela, 2017). At the applied end, the CBTS contribute greatly to developing machine translation systems, translation memories, and other translation resources, translation quality assessment, translation training, etc.…”

One of the most demanding aspects of intercultural communication is rendering the elements of foreign culture from source to target linguocultural system. As today more people are exposed to audiovisual than any other form of text, cultural representation is an important issue as these texts can be a powerful tool for construction or deconstruction of cultural and sociological stereotypes, dissemination of ideas, facilitating intercultural communication, etc. Hence, this study attempts to shed light on how the Anglophone culture is rendered in subtitling and what could be some underlying reasons for that. To this end, we have constructed a morphosyntactically annotated parallel English – Montenegrin corpus of TV subtitles consisting of 110 episodes of three different TV series that were broadcast on the public service broadcaster of Montenegro and scrutinized it to map the strategies used for rendering extralinguistic elements relying on the analytical framework proposed by Pedersen (2011).

“…Moreover, other scholars also discussed fruitful benefits of collocation beyond its language advantages in the artwork, such as movies and representation of things and individuals. Empirical literature scrutinizes the collocation of the movie's dubbing translation of American and British movies to Italian (Freddi, 2013) and French to Italian (Valentini, 2013). Further, collocation is also functioned to make representation.…”

Adjectival collocation could depict the representation of things, such as place and individuals, i.e., a particular group, ethnicity, or community. While extensive studies on adjectival collocation and representation have been conducted in the Western context, only a few studies exist to explore a specific place in Southeast Asia. Consequently, this study aims to explore the adjectival collocation and representation of the word Bali from the Western perspective through its movies. To achieve the study’s objectives, a corpus linguistics approach was applied by utilizing three English corpora: The TV Corpus (TV), The Movie Corpus (Movies), and the Corpus of American Soap Opera (Soap), where the highest adjectival collocations from each corpus were collected to scrutinize context and representation. The findings of this study revealed that the adjectival collocations of the three corpora demonstrated five critical representations of the word Bali in Western movies: tourism, religion, history, terrorism, and crime. Further, the adjectival collocation of the word Bali represented the island as an exotic tourist destination with unique local beliefs and a long history. The word Bali was also represented to experience terrorist attacks and drug smuggling cases that made headlines nationally and internationally. The representations of the word Bali in Western movies adhered to events that significantly affected the island. AbstrakKolokasi adjektiva dapat menggambarkan representasi suatu hal, seperti tempat dan orang, yang terdiri atas kelompok, etnis, atau komunitas tertentu. Meskipun studi ekstensif mengenai kolokasi adjektiva dan representasi telah dilakukan dalam konteks Barat, hanya sedikit studi yang mengeksplorasi suatu tempat tertentu di Asia Tenggara. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi kolokasi adjektiva dan representasi kata Bali dari sudut pandang Barat melalui film. Untuk mencapai tujuan penelitian, pendekatan linguistik korpus diterapkan dengan menggunakan tiga korpora bahasa Inggris: TV Corpus (TV), The Movie Corpus (Movies), dan Corpus of American Soap Opera (Soap). Kolokasi adjektiva tertinggi dari tiap-tiap korpus dikumpulkan untuk meneliti konteks dan representasi. Temuan dari penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa kolokasi adjektiva dari ketiga korpora tersebut menunjukkan lima representasi kritis dari kata Bali dalam film Barat: pariwisata, agama, sejarah, terorisme, dan kriminalitas. Kolokasi adjektiva dari kata Bali merepresentasikan pulau ini sebagai tujuan wisata eksotis dengan kepercayaan lokal yang unik dan sejarah yang panjang. Selanjutnya, kata Bali juga direpresentasikan mengalami serangan teroris dan kasus penyelundupan narkoba yang menjadi berita utama secara nasional dan internasional. Representasi kata Bali dalam film Barat sejalan dengan peristiwa yang secara signifikan mempengaruhi pulau ini.

“…The nature of the tools available and the resources and time necessary to conduct a descriptive multimodal analysis of even just a single film have resulted in the apparent distinction between textual corpus analysis (which often takes advantage of quantitative data analysis) and multimodal qualitative analysis of one film or a few singular scenes. There have been commendable attempts to compile multimodal corpora in AVT, namely the Forli Corpus of Screen Translation (Valentini 2008), the TRACCE corpus (Jimenez and Seibel 2012) and the Pavia Corpus of Film Dialogue (Freddi 2013).…”

Multimodal corpus analysis of subtitling

This article proposes a new methodology for multimodal corpus analysis. It does so by particularly focusing on the issue of the translation of non-standard language varieties. This new methodology, which is significantly influenced by the work of Iedema (2003), Jimenez Hurtado and Soler Gallego (2013), Pastra (2008) and Ramos Pinto (2018), is capable of identifying the modes and resources at play and the relations identified between them, as well as how such relations participate in the construction of the non-standard varieties’ communicative meaning. It also accounts for the impact of the introduction of subtitles on preserving, cancelling or modifying the intermodal relations identified in the source text and, consequently, the diegetic functions they support; that is, the function they assume in the fictional world of the film. In this regard, the methodology assumes a clear translational perspective.
