Caps", this program systematically produces lower values, both for CPS (some 2 or 3 units) and for WPM (except for subtitle number 8). Figures for subtitles 1, 4 and 6 (i.e. the ones which include dialogue and whose lines start with hyphens) need some additional clarification which may explain higher values for WPM when the calculations are made by the macro. As it was explained before, the application source code considers a "word" any character se- quence located between blank spaces. In the above mentioned instances, the sub- titler has left blank spaces between the initial hyphen and the first letter of the first word of each subtitle line. This is not considered as a "best practice" in the field professional conventions, and has also been recorded in some of the most used subtitling manuals (like Díaz Cintas, 2003), since one character is spoilt, or ra- ther left unused, for no obvious reason
such as entire courtship or mating rituals. A fundamental characteristic of these patterns is that the behaviors comprising them occur in virtually the same fashion and in the same order every time. It is almost as if the patterns were recorded on tapes within the animals. When a situation calls for courtship, a courtship tape gets played; when a situation calls for mothering, a maternal behavior tape gets played. Click and the appropriate tape is activated; whirr and out rolls the standard se- quence of behaviors. The most interesting aspect of all this is the way the tapes are activated. When an animal acts to defend its territory for instance, it is the intrusion of another an- imal of the same species that cues the territorial-defense tape of rigid vigilance, threat, and, if need be, combat behaviors; however, there is a quirk in the system. It is not the rival as a whole that is the trigger; it is, rather, some specific feature, the trigger feature
