Isochrony as a Translation Constraint in Anime

Abstract [en]

Due to an increase in dubbing as the chosen mode of translation of films and TV

series, looking at the distinct challenges dubbing poses to translators becomes

increasingly important. This case study examines how isochrony, the need for

dialog to start and end in sync with the video, influences utterance length and

thereby constrains translation choices. Deviations from isochrony as well as

changes in utterance duration were measured in the English dub of an episode of

the Japanese animation series Teasing Master Takagi-san and annotated according

to the visual isochrony cues characters displayed. Results indicated that isochrony

was not a major limiting factor in most utterances. Furthermore, a tendency of

making deviations from isochrony at the start of utterances, rather than their end, if

visual isochrony cues are present at both, was also identified.
