Theory and Practice of Interpreting II

Catalog description

Students will identify and analyze demands (environmental, interpersonal, paralinguistic, and intrapersonal) that influence communication and develop controls for responding to communication events using the demand-control schema. Content includes ways various interlocutors construct and receive messages, co-construction of meaning and current theories in the process of interpreting. Students apply theories and practice controls by working with static and spontaneous texts to provide interpretations.
