| Abstract [eng] |
Information adaptation and subtitling for deaf and hard-of-hearing just recently became an interesting and significant research field for scholars and society members. The increase in audiovisual production and the users who cannot imagine living without new technologies resulted in the development of a special type of subtitling, i.e. for deaf and hard-of-hearing. Since there is only a little research done on this matter and imbalance between the lack of research and enormous impact of audiovisual media on society, the novelty of this research content wise might assist in developing a model of subtitle accessibility for deaf and hard-of-hearing. The aim of this paper is to analyse the information adaptation of subtitles for deaf and hard-of-hearing and reveal the current situation in the field of subtitling in Lithuania. For this purpose, Lithuanian TV show Gustavo enciklopedija is chosen as an appropriate object for the research. |
