Reviews
'A valuable contribution to both Translation Studies and Accessibility Studies since it deals with [subtitling for the d/Deaf and hard of hearing] SDH as an [audiovisual translation] AVT modality in its own right and describes its intended users in a thorough manner. For that reason, it is likely to become a reference textbook in these fields. The fact that an open access version of the book is available from the University College London Press website is also remarkable. This makes the book more easily reachable by different stakeholders incorporating access services in their cultural projects, which speaks of the potential social impact of the publication.' The Journal of Specialised Translation (JoSTrans) 'Zárate and her book will be a welcome ally to the captioning cause.' Choice
