Interpretation skill: short-term memory
Effort models
Daniel Gile (1995) 能力负荷模式 Two phases of consecutive interpreting: Phase 1: I=L+M+N Phase 2: I=Rem+Read+P
1)Importance of a good memory (several seconds~15 minutes, 120~220 words/m)
2)Can be trained
3)Memory useful to interpreters: the ability to learn by heart (no)
remember things said moments before (yes)
4)Meaning Vs Memory meaning> active memory, shorter to be co
mmitted, and once broken from original language form, can stay much longer
Vs words > only a faint impression
5)Short-term memory (verbal) Vs Long-term memory(non-verbal)
7-8 discrete info points capacity unlimited 20~30 sec much longer active stowed away, need to be activated
6)In interpreting, memory last only a short time, therefore, STM should be prioritized in memory training
Short-term memory
To reproduce the main idea and relevant details of a discourse without taking any notes.
Listening Analyzing What, who, when, how, why
Basis for note-taking (or else, scattered info)
Memory training
a. Source language reproduction b. Target language reproduction c. Shadowing d. Logic analysis
Memory training 1)Develop your own ways of strengthening memor
y power, retrieval cues (clues for recalling) 2)Must be concentrated on topic under discussion 3)Retrieval cues:
Time order: narrations, stories, history, etc Spatial order: visualization, eg. 东西南北中,由原及近,由近及远, etc.
Logic order: logic of reasoning
Reproduce the information in different wordings from the original text.
