| Abstract [eng] |
The article deals with the peculiarities of subtitling as a method of audiovisual translation. The aim of the paper is the investigation of transfer of language and material culture of the film “Super Size Me” through subtitling. The theoretical part of the article overviews specificities of subtitling, cultural translation and rendering of material cultural realia – food. The empirical investigation of the documentary film language revealed that the translation transformations of omission, paraphrase and retention prevail. The preference of omission procedure and the fact that 8% of original text was not translated exhibits the essence of subtitling, i.e. not all meaningful items of spoken utterances can be rendered in subtitles due to the target text compression. Cases of translation discrepancies evidence inconsiderate attitude towards the original text and prove that subtitling sometimes fails to convey adequate semantic and pragmatic message. |
