Intersemiotisches Übersetzen: Anmerkungen zur Audiodeskription aus einer übersetzungswissenschaftlichen Perspektive

There is no doubt that Translation Studies have firmly established themselves as an independent scientific field. However, there are thematic overlaps in some areas concerning other disciplines.
