Language Expressions RDA Record the language or languages of the expression using an appropriate term or terms in the language preferred by the agency creating the data. Select terms from a standard list of names of languages, if available. RDA If a single expression of a work involves more than one language, record each of the languages. 63 3/14/12 Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

Language Expressions RDA When recording data identifying an expression, include as a minimum the elements listed below that are applicable to that expression.  Identifier for the expression  Content type  Language of expression 64 3/14/12 Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

Language Expressions RDA Record the elements either as additions to the access point representing the expression, as separate elements, or as both. 65 3/14/12 Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

Language Expressions LCPS LC practice: When … recording an element to differentiate one work or expression from another work or expression or from a name for a person, family, or corporate body, always add the element to the access point. 66 3/14/12 Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

Language Expressions RDA’s Intent? Only spoken or sung languages in access points? Include subtitle languages? Intertitles? Distinguish soundtracks vs. subtitles? Distinguish plain English subtitles vs. captions and subtitles for the deaf and hard- of-hearing (SDH)? 67 3/14/12 Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

Language Expressions Typical DVD English soundtrack French soundtrack English SDH Spanish subtitles 68 3/14/12 Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

Language Expressions Possibilities we considered: #1 Only give soundtrack languages; consider each language option to be a separate expression Dracula. $l English Dracula. $l French 69 3/14/12 Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

Language Expressions Possibilities we considered: #2 (incorrect) Only give soundtrack languages; consider the DVD as a whole to be a separate expression Dracula. $l English & French Per RDA this is not a correct interpretation and the different soundtracks are different expressions 70 3/14/12 Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

Language Expressions Possibilities we considered: #3 Give both soundtrack and subtitle languages without distinction; consider each language option to be a separate expression Dracula. $l English Dracula. $l French Dracula. $l Spanish 71 3/14/12 Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

Language Expressions Possibilities we considered: # 4 Give both soundtrack and subtitle languages with some sort of distinction (not explicit in RDA, but perhaps could be considered other distinguishing information); consider each language option to be a separate expression Dracula. $l English (soundtrack) Dracula. $l English (subtitles) Dracula. $l French (soundtrack) Dracula. $l Spanish (subtitles) 72 3/14/12 Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

Language Expressions Possibilities we considered: #5 (incorrect) Give both soundtrack and subtitle options languages without distinction; consider the DVD as a whole to be a separate expression. Note that this is indistinguishable from a film, such as Babel, that was made with a mixed language soundtrack and is incorrect per RDA Dracula. $l English, French & Spanish 73 3/14/12 Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

Language Expressions Possibilities we considered: #6 All combinations explicit Dracula. $l English (soundtrack) Dracula. $l English (soundtrack) & English (subtitles) Dracula. $l English (soundtrack) & Spanish (subtitles) Dracula. $l French (soundtrack) Dracula. $l French (soundtrack) & English (subtitles) Dracula. $l French (soundtrack) & Spanish (subtitles) 74 3/14/12 Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

Language Expressions RDA 17.3 If there is more than one expression of the work, record the expression manifested. If more than one expression is embodied in the manifestation, only the predominant or first-named expression manifested is required. 75 3/14/12 Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

Language Expressions RDA 17.3 Option to identify only the predominant or first ‐ named expression (which in the case of DVDs would be largely arbitrary) Undermines the usefulness of these expression access points; not predictable for users Users have no way to know why some language options get expression access points qualified by language and others don’t. 76 3/14/12 Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

Language Expressions Imagine an outlier with multiple soundtracks and ten or fifteen subtitle tracks Do people browse titles this way for movies and expect a list by language? Or do 008/lang and 041 limiters potentially work better? 77 3/14/12 Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

Language Expressions Might be better for users if we stick primarily to work access points for moving images and record distinguishing elements like language in another element 78 3/14/12 Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
