Mastery of Meaning

This workshop addresses the heart of interpreting –meaning. How do we manage shades of meaning, addressing subtleties and nuances found in language? As interpreters, we determine meaning through a combination of factors such as context, intonation, intent, setting, and other linguistic features. We often use implication and inference to insinuate meaning beyond the words spoken. This training focuses on interpretation from English to ASL and how to gain mastery over meaning.
