Abstract

The present article analyzes how viewers process information of subtitled and voiced-over multilingual movies. In an experimental study, we tested if comprehension of multilingual movies depends on whether subtitling or voice-over is used as an Audiovisual Translation Mode. Hierarchical Multiple Regression yielded support for this hypothesis indicating higher levels of comprehension performance in the condition with the subtitled movie excerpt.
