Antonini, R. Chiaro, D. (2009)

AVT GAP

IN AUDIENCE PERCEPTION

• From translators to audience
• The extralinguistic factor
• Not only subtitles' fault → personal dimension biases

Calling into question...

• Will this TAV gap ever be filled?
• Is this gap smaller in dubbing?
• If you had to repeat the experiment, which film would you use?

• Adjectives' first selection bias

• Anachronistic? So why not a newer production by Almodovar?

Weaknesses

Strenghts

• Rather good sample
• Efficient methodology overall, but
