Multidimensional Translation
is defined as a form of Translation which
- transfers – given a specific purpose – a speaker or hearer’s
- concern,
- manifest, i.e. expressed in a sign system 1, formulated in a medium 1,
- via the same medium or another medium 1, 2
- or a combination of media into another sign or semiotic system.
With this understanding it is possible to accommodate and describe a transfer
from the spoken to the written (e.g. subtitling or written interpreting),from the written to the spoken (e.g. sight translation) from the visual to the spoken (e.g. audiodescription) and many other hybrid forms of text and translation and interpretation under the umbrella Multidimensional Translation.
It is a research desideratum to describe the conditions and forms of the different types of Multidimensional Translation.
