PORTRAYAL OF LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN AVT. A study of the acceptability of social markers and translation solutions in Spanish.

Abstract

The present study aims to analyse the correlation between some demographic and sociocultural factors and the degree of acceptability of social markers and translation solutions in Spanish in which LGBTQ+ members are portrayed or referred to. To do so, a catalogue has been compiled and a questionnaire designed. Once the questionnaire was answered by a number of individuals a database was created and Power BI was used to study correlations and create visual displays that would help the analysis. Gender and age were found to be relevant for the degree of acceptance towards translation solutions. However, a significant correlation between exposure to other cultures and the degree of acceptance was not found. Lastly, other findings have been highlighted and recommendations given to aid further research in the field.
