Abstract
Subtitling of televised foreign-language material not only changes language; it also switches from the spoken to the written mode, and it presents itself 'in real time', as a dynamic text type. Hence, due to the complex, 'diagonal' nature of subtitling, the subtitler must possess the musical ears of an interpreter, the stylistic sensitivity of a literary translator, the visual acuteness of a film cutter, and the esthetic sense of a book designer.
