The contribution aims to investigate to what extent linguistic simplification affects the domain of politeness phenomena in subtitles, focusing on the translation of compliments, which are culturally-constrained speech acts. After briefly describing compliments, the chapter investigates how they are translated in the subtitled DVD version of various British/Us films and if/how what is expunged can be recovered from the nonlinguistic communicative channels.

Abstract
The contribution aims to investigate to what extent linguistic simplification affects the domain of politeness phenomena in subtitles, focusing on the translation of compliments, which are culturally-constrained speech acts. After briefly describing compliments, the chapter investigates how they are translated in the subtitled DVD version of various British/Us films and if/how what is expunged can be recovered from the nonlinguistic communicative channels.File in questo prodotto:
