Abstract:

This book, a first in its kind, offers a survey of the present state of
affairs in media accessibility research and practice. It focuses on
professional practices which are relative newcomers within the field of
audiovisual translation and media studies, namely, audio description for
the blind and visually impaired, sign language, and subtitling for the deaf
and the hard-of-hearing for television, DVD, cinema, internet and live
performances.

Thanks to the work of lobbying groups and the introduction of legislation
in some countries, media accessibility is an area that has recently gained
marked visibility in our society. It has begun to appear in university
curricula across Europe, and is the topic of numerous specialised conferences.

The target readership of this book is first and foremost the growing number
of academics involved in audiovisual translation at universities -
researchers, teachers and students - but it is also of interest to the
ever-expanding pool of practitioners and translators, who may wish to
improve their crafts. The collection also addresses media scholars, members
of deaf and blind associations, TV channels, and cinema or theatre
managements who have embarked on the task of making their programmes and
venues accessible to the visually and hearing impaired.

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $60,000. This money will go to help keep 
the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out our Fund Drive 
2008 LINGUIST List Circus and join us on our many shows!

http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2008/

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at  
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to:
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to 
donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:
http://linguistlist.org/donate.html

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) 
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations 
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax 
payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your 
financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
