Subtitling Wordplay: A Case Study of Sherlock and The Big Bang Theory

Master thesis | Linguistics (MA)
Are instances of wordplay that are important for plot or characterization maintained more often in the subtitling than instances that are not important for plot or characterization? This article discusses theories from Zabalbeascoa, Delabastita, Nash, and Gottlieb, and the included case study discusses the relationship between plot importance and translation approaches in the subtitling of wordplay of Sherlock and The Big Bang Theory.
