The present chapter focuses on theatre surtitling for an audience who are d/Deaf or hard of hearing (TSDH) in a German-speaking context. This form of translation can be defined as an intralingual, intersemiotic, partial, additive, two-phased translation. Based on two examples from practice, specific translational challenges will be described in detail. Challenges such as improvisation and speaker identification are discussed by drawing on approaches from studies on SDH and interlingual theatre surtitling. Other aspects, such as the translation of music/sound into surtitles, albeit related to SDH as well, hold challenges that are specific to the semiotics of theatre and, therefore, to TSDH. With TSDH being a new research area and practice in the German-speaking context, many research questions remain to be answered. There is a need for appropriate TSDH standards, which can only be developed by involving the main target group, not only in practice but also in further research.

摘要

The present chapter focuses on theatre surtitling for an audience who are d/Deaf or hard of hearing (TSDH) in a German-speaking context. This form of translation can be defined as an intralingual, intersemiotic, partial, additive, two-phased translation. Based on two examples from practice, specific translational challenges will be described in detail. Challenges such as improvisation and speaker identification are discussed by drawing on approaches from studies on SDH and interlingual theatre surtitling. Other aspects, such as the translation of music/sound into surtitles, albeit related to SDH as well, hold challenges that are specific to the semiotics of theatre and, therefore, to TSDH. With TSDH being a new research area and practice in the German-speaking context, many research questions remain to be answered. There is a need for appropriate TSDH standards, which can only be developed by involving the main target group, not only in practice but also in further research.
