Participants will examine what processing time is in relation to interpreting and how comprehension, interpreter styles, interpreter approaches and other factors may impact processing time. Processing time impacts the dynamics of the interpreting situation as well as the interpretation. Participants will also gain insight during group discussions regarding research done by Gile, Barik, Cokley, and Napier about what types of errors or miscues may occur due to processing time. There will be specific dialogue related to processing time and interactive discourse. Ideas will be exchanged as to how processing time, dynamic equivalence and interactive discourse are all intertwined in the interpreting process. Lastly, participants will gain knowledge of the implication, for interpreters and/or interpreter educators, of processing time and its effect on errors in simultaneous interpretations. This will include questioning how to best learn and teach self-correction, utilization of team interpreters and more.

This workshop is presented in ASL
