About the event
*Presented in ASL*
On the last page of the EIPA glossary one can find the description of discourse mapping:
“This item focuses on the interpreter's ability to represent contextual boundaries by producing a
visual/spatial locational map indicating components/sequence/relationships… this map indicates behaviors/relationships, physical characteristics and locations.” (Schick & Williams 2013:13)
In other words, this evaluation of message clarity at the very least takes into account how an interpreter 1) uses 3D, 2D, or 1D depictive spaces (“maps”) to place objects in their respective locations provided by the source message and 2) this is not limited to locations of objects but also behaviors and physical attributes of elements. Clearly then, there is a lot to unpack in-order to understand discourse mapping so that one can effectively practice this crucial set of items that native signers use daily.
Educational Objectives
At the conclusion of this program participants will be able to:
Define and provide one example of a “plain sign”
Define and provide one example of a “depictive sign”
Demonstrate at least 3 different depictive features
Explain how depiction is similar to other terms such as: Discourse mapping, spatial mapping, use of space, and showing.
Target Audience
Working or aspiring interpreters.
