Contextual Settings: Frozen Text

Catalog description

Theatrical, performing arts, platform, and religious interpreting often deal with frozen and formal content extending beyond the stage or sacred. Course content includes an overview of professionalism, ethics, credentialing, equivalent message, vocabulary, register choice, linguistic adaptations, and other industry standards related to these specialized settings. Additionally, students will practice interpreting (sight translations; consecutive and simultaneous interpreting/transliterating) and evaluate the quality of the message.
