Abstract

Following an overview of corpus linguistics in audiovisual translation, and more specifically in audio description, this article presents the VIW (Visuals Into Words) project and its resulting corpus. It describes the compilation and annotation processes, highlighting the main challenges found. The article also presents the web application that has been developed, explaining in detail various data visualisation and search possibilities.
