CEUs: 0.2 PS
Presenter: Terra Benton
Presented in: Spoken English with Captions
Format: Archived Webinar
When interpreters work in isolation, they get stuck in a signing rut. Literal interpretations are often times the choice of least resistance. By learning how or refreshing one’s self to the use of appropriate lexical substitution and incorporation of intensity markers and NMS, interpreters can render more accurate ASL renditions of the source language. Multiple techniques will be discussed as well and actual hands-on activities will be utilized throughout the workshop.
Educational Objectives:
- Participants will be able to modify the meanings of signs when presented with a variety of concepts that can be attached to a single ASL sign.
- Participants will be able to describe how ASL uses intensity markers and NMS to change the meanings of signs.
- Participants will be able to identify and accurately interpret lexical substitutions when presented in a text.
