Abstract:

This book provides readers, students and teachers with a clear and concise
guide to understanding the concepts of offensive and taboo language and how
this type of language can be subtitled into Spanish used in Spain. It combines
theoretical and practical approaches and covers technical matters, as well as
those of censorship, (ideological) manipulation, translation strategies and
techniques, the treatment of offensive and taboo language and how to conduct
research in this field. It includes an array of examples from recent films and
TV series to present the reader with real samples of subtitles broadcast on
digital platforms today. In addition, each chapter includes exercises with
which the reader can put theory into practice, as well as possible solutions
in the form of answer keys. It will be of use not only to researchers and
students, but also to future audiovisual translators seeking to acquire
further knowledge in the transfer of offensive and taboo language.
