| Abstract
|
:
|
This thesis investigates the current subtitles’ segmentation norms in the Arabic language through a corpus of 400 selected subtitles. By adopting constituent analysis from the Hallidayan Systemic Functional Linguistics approach and using the work of Díaz Cintas and Remael (2014), this study seeks to identify the current norms followed in segmenting Arabic subtitles and contrast them with the norms used for English subtitles. Although there has been a common practice of following the norms for English language subtitles, there is an increasing need for a set of standards that respects the characteristics of the Arabic language. The reason for focusing on segmentation is the lack of studies based on a syntactic analysis of Arabic subtitles and the need to test how applicable the English segmentation norms are to the Arabic language.
