Community Based Interpreting - TRAN826
This unit introduces students to Community Based Interpreting (CBI), which encompasses interpreting that takes place in everyday situations in the community. CBI may apply to legal, health, education, or social service settings and can be described along a number of parameters that distinguish it from other forms of interpreting, such as conference interpreting. The settings impact on the nature of the encounter and the response required by the interpreter. Recent discourse-based research has contributed to a better understanding of how interpreters work in CBI. The course explores parameters and practices of CBI, drawing on both descriptive texts and discourse-based research.
