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.
