Überlegungen zur Analyse von Ausdrucksmitteln der Emotionalität in Text und Film für Menschen mit Sehbehinderung am Beispiel der Komödie ‚Good Bye, Lenin!‛

Abstract

This article explores the resources used for expressing emotionality in audio commentaries to films adapted for blind and visually impaired viewers. The subject of the study is the 2003 film Good Bye, Lenin! directed by Wolfgang Becker. Based on an analysis of three selected scenes from the film, which contain so-called audio descriptions, and from Bernd Lichtenberg’s screenplay, the analysis investigates how emotionality in the film is verbalised via audio descriptions, which means of expression are used, and whether (and to what extent) the language in the audio descriptions differs from the descriptions of the scenes in the screenplay.
