Abstract The codification of propriety – talking with a ‘proper’ accent – is recorded in audiovisual texts so that cross-cultural interaction between social groups is not left to verbal dialogue alone but to more or less accurate visual cues and to paralinguistic as well as prosodic information. This chapter will examine scenes from various audiovisual texts, which feature characters speaking with a British received pronunciation – arguably, the ‘proper’ accent – in contrast to those who speak with a variety of British accents. The main purpose of these narratives is the portrayal of a sociolinguistic divide, either to provide a realistic account of problematic or potentially inflammatory culture clashes or as stereotypical means to elicit a humorous response. The problem of transferring information related to such a linguistic and social gap in audiovisual translation has long been recognised as one of the most difficult challenges translators have to deal with. The examples quoted in this article, all related to the dubbing mode of translation, will, however, illustrate how prosodic and suprasegmental features can travel cross-culturally and could be, and sometimes are, taken into account by translators and adapters to maintain the linguistic contrast observed in the originals.

正确说话与口音说话：原始和翻译的视听对话中的社会语言差异

摘要在视听文本中记录了礼节的编纂（带有“适当”的口音），因此，社会群体之间的跨文化互动不仅仅取决于口头对话，还取决于或多或少的准确视觉线索以及副语言和韵律。信息。本章将研究各种视听文本中的场景，这些场景的特征是使用英国收到的发音说话的字符-可以说是“适当”的重音-与使用各种英国重音的说话者相反。这些叙述的主要目的是对社会语言鸿沟的刻画，以提供对有问题或潜在的炎症性文化冲突的现实解释，或作为引起幽默反应的定型手段。长期以来，视听翻译中与这种语言和社会鸿沟有关的信息传递问题一直被认为是翻译人员必须解决的最困难的挑战之一。本文引用的示例都与翻译的配音模式有关，但是，这些示例将说明韵律和超节段特征如何跨文化传播，并且翻译人员和衔接者有时甚至会考虑它们以维护语言在原件中观察到的对比度。
