Advantages And Disadvantages Of Dubbing

Hall suggests that meaning making in television requires a means, meaning the production materials, and a set of social, economic, political and ideological relations and structures of understanding that shape the production’s reception at the end of its encoding and decoding circuit (166). Further admitting that, as a result, encoding and decoding are not symmetrical because they depend on degrees of asymmetry between encoder-producer and decoder-receiver. Newcomb and Hirsch also suggest that the variety of readings of a singular text are the result of the ideological, political, cultural, and social positions and experiences of each individual cultural bricoleur, leading to three potential readings, dominant, negotiated, and oppositional. In the specific case of “Gentle and Soft” the most significant position and experience of the bricoleur is in their familiarity with the

The product of this process reflects a translation that is the shared consensus of a linguistically equivalent protocol across languages and cultures.

2.) Give three examples of paralinguistics and three examples of extralinguistics. Then explain how these aspects of communication differ in conversations among Japanese and among Latin Americans according to the video.

Cinematic Language: The accepted systems, methods, or customs by which movies communicate. Cinematic conventions are flexible; they are not “rules”.

Another crucial problem the family has is the dynamic with Joey, Emilia, Hector, and Celia. Due to the fact that Celia has primarily stayed in the home, and as a result cannot speak English, it obstructs her ability to advocate in the fullest capacity for her grandson. One example is how Celia didn’t fully understand that Vicki’s diagnosis of Autism was the reason behind her daughter’s behavior. Translation are “words that have been changed from one language into a different language (Merriam-Webster, n.d.).” Based on the definition, it would be easy for valuable information to become distorted through the use of a translator.

In the essay “Hollywood Warms to Asian Movies, American-Style” Renee Graham talks about how Hollywood remakes Asian movies. There are many advantages and disadvantages of these remakes. One advantage is that the remakes bring attention to the original version. Another advantage is that people in America get exposure to foreign films. A disadvantage is that these remakes are not as good as the original ones.

Today, censorship is in place in more ways than you can imagine. As mentioned previously, movies, music, television, and more are filtered one way or another. Some people go to such lengths as illegal means of spreading materials deemed inappropriate for a certain viewing audience.

Two components that have an immense impact on the quality and caliber of a film are the editing and sound found within the film. These two aspects alone can make or break a film. In the film The Kings of Summer, directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts, these two elements collaborate to highlight certain emotions and key moments in the film’s plot. Some of the sub-elements of these two components that can easily be identified within the film include the flashforward, the flashback, both nondiegetic and diegetic sound, semi diegetic sound, graphic matching and voice offs. Within the film The Kings Of Summer, editing and sound are methodically and tactfully utilized in order to produce a film that is both entertaining and meaningful for the audience.

The invention of high quality speakers and amplifiers has allowed theaters to provide louder, more clear sound while playing movies. Microphones and other forms of technology allowed for movies to be more equalized in sound. A main problem that technology solved was the accents of different actors. Before, those with accents caused difficulty for the audience to interpret what they were saying. Synchronization is one of the problems that technology has solved, as well as amplification (Winokur). Improvements to microphones allowed actors to talk in a more normal paced manner instead of slowly

Numerous Americans come in contact with restriction on very nearly a regular schedule, regardless of whether it is on TV or on the web. Pictures are obscured out, words are bleeped and certain scenes in TV and motion pictures can be removed. Presently much of the time these things

Likewise, translation cannot be considered to interact with the reader, seeking to communicate the meaning of the original text as the content is not essential in our appreciation of the text. His question assumes the original and the translation as distinct categories, both of which, for him, are works of art. Apart from carrying messages and prolonging the value of texts, what is unique to translation is its potential to “express the central reciprocal relationship between languages”(72), its kinship to another language and its potential to bring out the pure language where the “mutually exclusive elements among languages can mingle and supplement one another” (74) and where ‘complementary intentions’ between two languages can be communicated. Therefore, the translator should not be restrained by the burden of relaying what the original means. Benjamin claims that “languages are not strangers to one another, but are, a priori and apart from all historical relationships, interrelated in what they want to express” (72).

Talking about “dialects”, a term often mentioned along is “standard language”. When being brought into comparison with “dialect”, “standard language” usually serves as a legitimate variant with the highest level of excellence (Bex & Watts, 1999). Though positive in nature, standardization - the procedure of standardizing a language – often raises heated controversy because of its consequences on not only linguistics field but also the society. In the second part of the essay, I will focus on the disadvantages of language standardization.

Nowadays, although teaching and learning English has constantly changed, the Audio-Lingual Method still plays a significant role in many English classes around the world. According to Larsen-Freeman (2000), the Audio-Lingual Method was developed from an interesting idea that behavioral psychology and linguistic conventions are closely related to each other. Thus, this method aims to enhance learners’ ability by overlearn and habit formation.

“Translators have to prove to themselves as to others that they are in control of what they do, that they do not just translate well because they have a “flair” for translation, but rather because, like other professional, they have made a conscious effort to understand various aspects of their work.”

Daniel Gouadec (2002: 273) said in Translation as a Profession that "most translation problems and potential risks could be resolved by getting as much information as possible prior to a translation project". As to the translation project in this report, I made preparation in the following aspects:
