Abstract
Audio Description is a new text type which offers the prototypical receiver – blind or partially sighted people – a narrated representation of what is occurring at specific moments in the other audiovisual text to which it is subordinated. An AD script is subject to multiple subordination: to what is happening on the screen, to the distribution of silent spaces in the other text, and to the amount of time provided in each space. This fact, however, does not prevent the AD script from offering a representation of the general knowledge encoded by specific fragments of the film. Such a representation of knowledge, understood as the description in words or other signs of a specific reality, may serve as a semantic basis for the creation of a local grammar of AD scripts.

Los propios autores hablan de dominio específico: We present a corpus-based method for identifying and learning patterns describing events in a specific domain by examining the manner in which: (a) a small number of keywords in the domain are distributed throughout the corpus; and, (b) a local grammar that is idiosyncratic of a class of events in the domain, governs the usage of the keywords.

Summary
La aparición de un nuevo objeto de estudio supone la aplicación y validación de antiguas metodologías de análisis científico, así como la posible creación de nuevas estructuras y herramientas de análisis que evidencien la adaptabilidad y capacidad de implementación de una teoría. Uno de los objetos de estudio que ha surgido en esta nueva etapa de la pretendida accesibilidad universal a los medios de comunicación es el fenómeno de la audiodescripción plasmada en un texto que llamaremos guión audiodescrito (en adelante GAD) y que se configura lingüísticamente como un texto que se construye con el fin de describir para las personas ciegas o de baja visión lo que ocurre en la pantalla durante los silencios de la película, serie o documental (Ballester en prensa). Plantearemos algunas perspectivas de análisis de un nuevo tipo textual, el GAD, sus parámetros y características desde el análisis lingüístico y traductológico
