“Linguistic patterns in novice interpreters’ work when rendering an ASL business lecture into English – A Case Study.
Abstract
The challenges surrounding Deaf professionals and qualified interpreters in the workplace are well-known and have been deeply explored in a variety of studies. This case study examines the linguistic patterns in two novice interpretations of an ASL business lecture from the perspectives of hearing, non-signing professionals. The results of the study may serve as key points of focus for newer interpreters to further develop their abilities when rendering text from ASL to English.
