It's good to get back to basics, and this workshop allows working (and new) interpreters a chance to break down the essential process of taking thoughts and words in one language and rendering them into another. you know.... our job. By definition, "Interpretation" happens on the fly, while "translation" is done over time. While interpreters don't have this luxury of time that is available to translators, interpreters can benefit from slowing down, and experiencing the full translation process. This workshop covers text analysis (Information, emotion, central ideas, intention meta-linguistic elements), collaboration, and self-analysis. Though lecture, discussion, and activities, participants will have the chance to imagine what it would be like to have a full day, a full week, or even just a full. minute, to process language. By getting back to basics, interpreters will (re-) discover what parts of the complete translation process can influence and enhance interpretation.
