Rezensionen

"With Audio Description for the Arts. A Linguistic Perspective, Elisa Perego offers a thoroughly researched, landmark account of how audio description is most effectively practiced particularly for static work. Perego takes a giant step toward greater accessibility in museums for a long-neglected segment of the population." - Joel Snyder, Ph.D., President, Audio Description Associates, LLC, Founder and Senior Consultant, Audio Description Project of the American Council of the Blind

"Audio Description for the Arts. A Linguistic Perspective presents data-driven insights into the distinct linguistic features of different types of art AD: recorded tours, touch tours and stand-alone descriptions. This much-needed book will prove stimulating reading for practitioners, researchers and students alike." - Dr Rachel Hutchinson, Lecturer in Psychology, University of Westminster.
