Features: A television special program, also known as a television documentary or artistic television documentary, develops and forms its content through the combined perception of visuals and audio. When images are combined with natural language to achieve audio-visual integration, a certain regular relationship is manifested between the visuals and the narration. This regular relationship is known as the "audio-visual language structure." This book summarizes the structural patterns of audio-visual language in television special programs into four categories: synchronization, subordination, vacancy, and opposition. Based on these four fundamental structural relationships, the book studies the audio-visual structure of sentences and sentence groups, as well as their different roles in conveying content. The book further explores the audio-visual structural patterns of paragraphs and chapters. Additionally, it discusses the distinct characteristics and functions of subtitle language and interview language. The book offers a certain depth in theory while remaining practical. It serves as a valuable reference for those engaged in creating, appreciating, and researching the language of television special programs, making it suitable for television professionals and language workers.
