Authors : Radia Benzehra .

Abstract

Globalization has increased the domains of translation and is challenging even more the translator’s role. AVT emerged as the most dynamic developing trend within translation studies. AVT is a term used to cover subtitling and dubbing as well as a wide variety of translational activities. The paper aims at exploring and appreciating translational constraints and translational conventions involved in subtitling, which is the main form of translation or language transfer in television.
