The Language of Audio description: Analysis of the Spanish Audio description Script of Ocho Apellidos Vascos (Spanish Affair)

This article is taken from a descriptive study of the language model of audio description (AD) in Spanish. In the absence of similar studies, I have used the prefabricated orality language model in audiovisual fiction texts for Spanish productions (Banos, 2009) as an analytical framework Its application in the audio description script of the film Ocho apellidos vascos (Spanish Affair) allows us to perform an analysis of the phonetic-prosodic, morphological, lexical and syntactic language levels. After the characterization of these levels for the AD, I have compared the results with both the prefabricated orality of Spanish productions and the dubbese to determine to which of the two the AD language is the closest as a prefabricated orality audiovisual text.
