Interpretation

organizations employ their own staffed interpreters to have on-hand whenever a communication barrier arises, and some hire freelance interpreters from local agencies that are used as needed. Face-to-Face interpretation is largely regarded as the most successful, however, scheduling face-to-face interpretation can be a challenge. The pros to face-to-face interpreting are that a common location provides contextual cues that are helpful to the interpreter. On top of that, nonverbal cues are seen…

Another weakness I noticed in my work is I would apply my own knowledge and logic to my interpretations, which is a skill that can be great, but it can also backfire. For example, one docent signed something that I was certain was accidental, so I decided to correct her mistake in my interpretation. This was a strategy that I have seen other interpreters use, and know it to be effective, but I found it was the wrong choice for this moment. The docent caught my correction and made me reinterpret…

question argued, is about the claim that all understanding involves interpretation, and that all interpretation is inherently perspectival. I will talk about Nietzsche’s claim that all truths are “errors”, Gadamer’s view that all understanding involves interpretation, his notion of “effective historical consciousness” and Schott’s critical stance when finally, I will add my own personal thoughts on how understanding involves interpretation. Nietzsche says that all truths are “errors” that human…

Career Application Interpreting is a complex profession, made even more complex with cross-cultural communication. According to Schaefer, non-Mexican Americans viewed Mexican Americans as second class citizens; therefore they were expected to conform to the mainstream culture (2015, p. 227). They have also faced many barriers and lack of access to employment (Valenciana, 2006, para. 6). These are important aspects to keep in mind while interpreting for Mexican Americans. As interpreters, it…

Danielle’s career-focused intents started young. The first job she can remember wishing for was to do missionary work out of the country, and the only route to do the job was to pursue medical school, and with a fear of blood and needles, that wasn’t an option. Growing up, her first paid job was done “under the table.” At around 4 years old, she was enrolled in dance classes, and every day she tried to sneak into the other classrooms. “I am not a very fluid mover, I was a very stiff child, like…

else in the world. With this in mind, psychologists have tried to come up with theories to try and figure out the meaning of dreams to individuals and interpret symbols seen in dreams in order to understand the mind. This process is called dream interpretation and this is a relatively new concept. In the book called “Private Myths” by Anthony Stevens, it says that experts and researchers are still trying to find a way to classify dreams that are categorized as themes (like falling or flying),…

While “Araby” uses emotions through many metaphors and ambiguous terms, “Maladies” uses a much more unemotional, straightforward style throughout the story so as to paint a picture for the reader. Take the last paragraph in each story for example; in “Araby” the narrator is “gazing up into the darkness” and sees himself “a creature driven and derided by vanity; and [his] eyes burned with anguish and anger” (16). This exceedingly metaphorical sentence, the reader is forced to substitute their own…

FREUD'S SELF-ANALYSIS Freud's self-analysis started in the mid 1890's and reached its climaxes between 1895 and 1910. In certain authors’ opinions, it was continued up to his death in 1939. Nevertheless, we have to set a clear boundary between the time of his productive, creative stage and his profession as a psychoanalyst. The first phase was full of unexpected aspects and inventiveness. It included: 1) his routine self- analysis where he performed checks of his complexes—those emotional ideas…

My interpretation of the constitution and what defining benefits it included for the class of citizens it represents. For my overview I will talk about two different examinations of evidence and my own cross-examination, starting with Howard Zinn’s radical economic and self-interest motivation for the rapid call of action to sign the constitution. The next view is from Gordon Wood, with the “Enlightened Statesmen” view that the signers were brilliant men who carefully crafted a well mapped…
