This workshop will explore the prosodic properties of spoken language and how they impact the accuracy of voice interpretations. Participants will experience the manipulation of these properties in order to understand the changes in meaning that can occur with even minor fluctuations. Prosodic features that will be explored include: pauses, lengthening of vowels, tempo, volume, pitch, and more. The goal of this training is to provide specific strategies interpreters can immediately incorporate into their work to create interpretations that sound natural to the listener.
Event
This workshop will challenge interpreters to focus on details in their work that hinder conceptual accuracy, such as production errors and palm orientation. We will delve into specifics elements of ASL prosodic structure such as cheek puffing, changes in eye opening, and head movement which are used to indicate nuances in meaning and emotion. We will explore the difference between Expansion and Explanation. We will discuss strategies for properly employing Expansion and Compression at work.
This workshop is worth .35 CEUs.
