Audiovisual productions have become the quintessential means of communication in the 21st century and, in the era of globalisation, their translation is imperative in order to foster exchanges across languages and cultures. Interest in subtitling has been growing steadily and exponentially in the industry, academia and educational centres. In this seminar, I will offer an in-depth discussion of the core principles that characterise the practice of subtitling, paying special attention to the technical, linguistic, and cultural aspects of creating effective subtitles, including timing, segmentation, and readability.
