28 January 2017
Perth, Western Australia
This interactive workshop will spend the morning exploring emerging paradigms for the interpreting profession. Drawing on the Demand-Control Schema as articulated by Dean & Pollard and the concept of Role-Space from Llwellyn-Jones & Lee, we will discuss the shift in conceptual framework in the United States and how that applies to the context in Western Australia. In the afternoon, we will look at what it means to be interpreters between spoken and visual language and how this affects the use of discourse. Using a series of engaging activities, you will get the chance to both talk about and experience concepts such as figure and ground constructions, depiction, and discourse mapping in a variety of settings.
