چکیده | ||
The present study aimed to examine kinetic units, implicature and coherence in Persian audio descriptions. To this end, 10 Persian audio described movies totaling 1004 minutes were watched and their audio descriptions (ADs) were documented, resulting in 3485 records. These were filtered for descriptions related to characters’ movements, yielding 2095 ADs, which were analyzed in three phases. First, the type of kinetic unit in each AD was identified. Second, the implicature of kinetic units were examined to see if they were included in the ADs or ignored, and the last phase addressed coherence in ADs. The results reveled gesture to be the most frequent kinetic unit in Persian ADs, followed by manner and posture. Moreover, 96% of kinetic units lacked implicature, and only 2.5% of implicatures of characters’ movements were ignored in audio descriptions which does not raise serious concerns about their accessibility for the blind and visually impaired audience. As for coherence, 97% of Persian ADs were found to be coherent, highlighting the substantial accessibility afforded to their special audience. However, accessibility was not solely contingent upon linguistic and pragmatic factors. Technical challenges, such as background music overshadowing ADs, posed additional barriers to media accessibility. | ||
