Why choose this project topic?
The focus on how subtitles handle humour that depends on Yoruba linguistic forms provides a specific linguistic problem that can be investigated with a bounded dataset. Speaker-checked evidence and explicit analysis decisions make the proposal suitable for discussion with a language specialist.
What can lawfully accessed short film scenes and their authorised English subtitles establish about how subtitles handle humour that depends on Yoruba linguistic forms?
Name the precise variety or participant setting, agree the sample and analysis tools, and verify the feasibility of studying how subtitles handle humour that depends on Yoruba linguistic forms.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Define an analytical account of how subtitles handle humour that depends on Yoruba linguistic forms.
- 02Document relevant examples using lawfully accessed short film scenes and their authorised English subtitles.
- 03Align speech, subtitle timing and comic context, then compare retention, explanation and omission strategies.
A suggested research approach
Confirm access to lawfully accessed short film scenes and their authorised English subtitles and the competence needed for transcription or translation. Align speech, subtitle timing and comic context, then compare retention, explanation and omission strategies. Pilot the tasks, record uncertain judgments, and obtain required ethics approval and informed consent before involving speakers.
What you will need
- Authorised access to lawfully accessed short film scenes and their authorised English subtitles
- A transcription or coding protocol for how subtitles handle humour that depends on Yoruba linguistic forms
- Appropriate language competence, secure storage and participant consent arrangements
Keep your project scope clear
Subtitles are constrained by space and timing; literal difference is not sufficient evidence of failure.
