The Language System of Audio Description: An Investigation as a Discursive Process
Piety, Philip J.
Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v98 n8 p453-469 Aug 2004
This study investigated the language used in a selection of films containing audio description and developed a set of definitions that allow productions containing it to be more fully defined, measured, and compared. It also highlights some challenging questions related to audio description as a discursive practice and provides a basis for future study of this unique use of language.
