Dubbing and Prosody at the Interface

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Prosody of Dubbed Speech

Part of the book series: Palgrave Studies in Translating and Interpreting ((PTTI))

Abstract

This chapter revolves around the intersection between dubbing and prosody by highlighting its strengths and weaknesses. The field of speech prosody is integrated into the theory and practice of dubbing, with particular emphasis on some of the key defining features that characterise this ensemble. Five prosodic cues, namely intonation, loudness, tempo, rhythmicality and tension, are defined and set in the context of dubbed deliveries. The reader is given the necessary tools to understand how prosody works in the production and interpretation of meaning and the challenges it can pose to dubbing practitioners. The last part of the chapter explores the dichotomy between dubbed and spontaneous speech at the prosodic level and the significant role that prosodic features play in the (de)construction of attitudinal content and in the study of the naturalness, or lack thereof, of dubbed texts.
