| Abstract: | The successful reception of audiovisual productions depends heavily on the quality of the translation of the audiovisual text. Although audiovisual translation has been dealt with by a number of studies in the last few years, most studies seem to ignore the key question of reception. This paper aims to address this gap by analyzing some questions relating to the level of reception of AV translated humour in English. The emphasis is on empirical testing, through an experiment designed to examine the degree of positive transfer of AV translated humour. To this end, a case study of one of the best well-known Marx Brothers' films, Duck Soup, is presented. |
