 Hello, guys. This is Wukasz Lutka from MVP Masterclass and this is Researchers in the Spotlight, where we want to bring more attention to researchers who work with subtitling. And today I'm joined by Sharon Black. Hello, Sharon. Hello. Hi, Wukasz. Great to have you here. And Sharon is a lecturer in interpreting and translation at the University of East Anglia. It does in the UK and her principal research interest lies in the area of audiovisual translation, in particular the reception and cognitive processing of translated audiovisual content. And Sharon has carried out a lot of research herself on how audiovisual translation is received by children. Sharon is also the president of the European Association for Studies in Screen translation. Sharon, we are recording this just before Christmas. Are you looking forward to Christmas and what are you planning to do? Yes. And first of all, thank you so much for inviting me to join you today. I'm delighted to join you to have a chat about, you know, AVT on all things related to subtitling for children. Yes. So for Christmas, I'm really looking forward to going home to Ireland to spend time with friends and family. And also, I'm trying to finish reading the His Dark Materials trilogy in time for the new BBC series. The series three is coming out for Christmas. So that's my Christmas TV viewing sorted. Now that you mentioned the series, there's this very well-known series of Netflix called Dairy Girls, right? And I was told that you have, some people believe you have a London Dairy accent yourself. Is that correct? Well, some people do ask me whether I have, you know, whether my accent is from Dairy. I do live very close to the border. When I say I live as a child, I lived close to the border with the county of Dairy, but I would say, no, I don't really have a Dairy accent. I do love watching Dairy Girls. When you watch Dairy Girls, when you were going to watch His Dark Materials over Christmas, are you going to turn on subtitles in English or do you just watch it with original audio? That's it. That's a really good question because the answer is I always turn on the subtitles. I really do not like watching TV or movies without subtitles these days. I prefer to read the programme or the film that I'm watching at the same time as watching it. I find that I don't want to miss out on the dialogue or have to make too much effort to understand what's being said. And I feel that it helps me to enjoy the TV programme or the film more fully. Also, if my snacks are a bit noisy, I really don't want to miss out on anything and have to have to go back and listen again. So as you can see, subtitles can help you with snacks.
