Resumen de How Co-Speech Gestures are Rendered in Audio Description: A Case Study

Anna Jankowska, Monika Zabrocka

• The description of co-speech gestures is an under-researched area of audio description. This chapter draws attention to the concept of audio description strategies. As well as looking at the ways in which co-speech gestures are described in audio description, Jankowska and Zabrocka explore the methodological implications of including gesture types into analysis of gesture description. This chapter concludes with the results of a case study in the form of qualitative and quantitative analysis of a corpus of six professionally audio described films.
