It investigates the shift from Egyptian Dialect (ED) to Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and the recent return to dual-dialect releases (MSA & ED). Through semi-structured interviews with two key figures in the Arabic dubbing industry—one from the ED era and one from the current era—the study examines the interplay between linguistic norms, cultural context, and translational choices. The analysis reveals how translational strategies reflect evolving linguistic landscapes and market forces, impacting the balance between equivalence and cultural adaptation. This research contributes to audiovisual translation studies by offering a nuanced understanding of dubbing practices in the Arab world and the complex interaction between linguistic choices and cultural impact.</p> Dubbing Diglossia Descriptivism Audiovisual Translation Dewey 410.2 Maîtrise universitaire en traduction et communication spécialisée multilingue (MATCOM) 112 Département de traitement informatique multilingue 92 false 33681206-8484-4c9d-b44a-1d411a64880e Master thesis Restricted NZeineldin_memoire_vfinale.pdf 2329551 application/pdf 7e0ddcf852c93ce11a0185833381a09afa86ca746e7a178386e7131e11acc925 restrictedAccess Faculté de traduction et d'interprétation / Département de traitement informatique multilingue
