Jenny Mattsson (Göteborg) EU-High-Level Scientific Conference Series MuTra 2006 – Audiovisual Translation Scenarios: Conference Proceedings Linguistic Variation in Subtitling The subtitling of swearwords and discourse markers on public television, commercial television and DVD Contents 1 Introduction 2 Method and material 3 Swearwords and discourse markers in Nurse Betty 4 Factors governing the different translations 5 Conclusion 6 References Abstract This article focuses on the Swedish subtitling of two different linguistic features, i.e. swearwords and discourse markers. The material in question consists of one source text, the American film Nurse Betty, and three translations of this film; one was made for the public TV channel SVT1, one for the commercial TV channel TV3, and one for the DVD release of the same film. The subtitling of both swearwords and discourse markers are analysed quantitatively as well as qualitatively in order to see whether any patterns of translation emerge, and how these can possibly be explained. Results show that a high frequency of omission of both features in all three target texts may have its origin in a system of norms governing Swedish original written works and translations, and that the subtitling of swearwords, for various reasons, is more inclined to abide by these norms than is the subtitling of discourse markers, which in turn is governed by additional factors. 1 Introduction Sweden is one of the countries in the world where subtitling is most extensively used. According to the Swedish Ministry of Culture (2003: 238), people in Sweden spend an average of 1 ½ hours per day reading subtitles and 20 minutes reading other material, a fact which in itself makes research in this area imperative. In the same report the Swedish Ministry of Culture has also stated (2003: 239) that the quality of subtitling in Sweden is of high importance, and that a study of the different TV channels’ methods of subtitling should be performed. This statement influenced the current and ongoing study from which this article proceeds. The study in its entirety is the basis for my PhD thesis which focuses on the subtitling of American films into Swedish on four different Swedish TV channels (SVT1, SVT2 1 , TV3 and TV4), and DVD-releases. The aim of the thesis is to compare the subtitling from three different sources, i.e. public television (SVT1 and SVT2), commercial television (TV3 and 1 SVT1 and SVT2 are two different channels, but they both belong to Swedish public television and abide by the same system and laws. © Copyright 2006-2007 by MuTra 47
