Think while you speak
Østergade 4, 5400 Bogense
Unpredictability. Communication between people is known for it. This is precisely why interpreters are experts at thinking while speaking. All linguists can learn from this experience.
We dive into how the interpreter helps conversations on the way, often under difficult conditions. The interpreter does not simply reproduce what the others are saying, although it is tempting to make it so simple. Because that's how conversations don't work, whether foreign languages are in the equation or not.
Find out how the interpreter uses speech, listening, body language, word choice, note technique and thought activity to help people with their vivid conversations. All with examples from a familiar world, of Danish culture and language, the welfare society and all of us trying to do things with words.
Lecture by Philip Thinggaard, interpreter in Spanish and president of the Interpretive Society
