Building on metadiscourse which highlighted the growing importance of accent as an emblem of social stance in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the chapters in this book examine how popular textual forms create and reinforce links between accent and social persona, and accent and individual idiolect. A look at these themes, as explored through the lens of audiovisual translation and the challenges of dubbing, sheds further light on the creative resources authors and translators draw on in representing sociolinguistic realities through accent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of particular interest to students and scholars in dialectology, audiovisual translation, literary translation, and media studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDonatella Montini\u003c\/strong\u003e is Full Professor in English Language and Translation at Sapienza University of Rome, Italy, where she teaches History of English and Stylistics.
