Both media and translation are “multidisciplinary” fields that intersect with other sciences in many respects, drawing concepts and theories from other fields such as psychology, sociology, economics, and others. Although translation and media are independent and separate fields, each belonging to a different domain, they meet at many points, which can be summarized in two main aspects: the first, purely academic, and the second, applied.
From an academic standpoint, there are strong ties between the field of media and linguistics—from which translation branches—in concepts, theories, and research methodologies. For example, rhetorical linguistic theories are used in media, and semiotics is used in media studies.
Among the characteristics that distinguish dubbing in particular, and audiovisual translation in general, is the “nature of the text,” as texts require certain conditions during the process of transferring them from the source language to the target language.
The nature of the audiovisual text also affects the translator’s work.
The harmony and correspondence between sound and image is known as “synchronization,” one of the core pillars of dubbing—indeed, the foundation upon which the success of the dubbed version depends. Synchronization is not limited to the correspondence between lip movement and the translated dialogue only; it extends beyond that in detail through this comprehensive and precise model classification of “synchronization” in dubbing, which brings together all aspects of synchronization.
