Event Details
Ask any interpreter to list the characteristics of a competent interpreter and eventually the attribute of accuracy will be listed. Accuracy is clearly an important part of the interpretation process, but how does one measure their accuracy? In this workshop we will explore the cognitive grammar notions of content and construal. Content are the items that fill the conceptualization, supplied by the discourse event. Construal is our ability to conceptualize that content in different ways. These two pieces show us how two different interpretations may be accurate but differ in their construal. Other tools will also be provided to guide you in analysis of your work.
Educational Objectives:
- Define the cognitive grammar notion of “Conceptual Base” and provide 1-2 examples
- Provide 2-3 examples of construal in cognitive linguistics.
Defend (with 1-3 examples) whether or not the target clause produced by an interpreter was accurate. - Utilizing the “accuracy measurement” worksheet, (provided by the instructor) explain 2-3 elements that demonstrate an understanding of its use.
