Intuitive Interpreting
Author: Annalisa Nash Fernandez
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
**Second edition with Coronavirus terminology.** A medical dictionary re-engineered for quick reference of highly technical terms! This specialized resource is the only interpreter's dictionary that leverages Spanish fluency and language intuition with a functional approach that excludes the bulk of familiar lexicon and adds technical terms found only in voluminous dictionaries. Intuitive Interpreting is not an interpreter training guide or manual for health care providers multitasking as interpreters. The abridged format excludes cognate forms of words such as "infection-infección", and common terms such as "cough" or "hot". Instead it is abridged to include only a shortlist of terms such as "whooping cough - tos ferina" and "hot flashes - sofocos," and even highly technical terminology, and newer Covid19 vocabulary, not found in modern medical dictionaries. This highly functional format is targeted to the experienced interpreter in need of only technically specific and esoteric lexicon.Designed to be incomplete, the dictionary section is limited to the 1,000 words an experienced interpreter needs. Included are glossaries by medical specialty, and guides to false cognates and the specifics of interpreter protocol. Sections on Greek and Latin based prefixes, and cognate stems, complete this niche resource. Intuitive Interpreting is the only dictionary that is practical on-the-job, where digital applications may be blocked, and complete medical dictionaries are too cumbersome. This is the only terminology resource a professional medical interpreter needs to work effectively in EnglishSpanish. Attach it to your clipboard and handle obscure medical terminology discreetly and efficiently.Authored by a nationally certified medical interpreter, for practicing interpreters.

As doctors' time becomes more limited, communication with patients becomes more important and the need for doctor-patient understanding becomes critical.

Unlike other bilingual dictionaries that emphasize scientific terms, this one focuses on standard Spanish terms as well as regional expressions peculiar to Mexican SpanishÑ language encountered in Chicago as easily as in Phoenix.In the Spanish-to-English section, Spanish terms are followed by English translations and sample sentences to help health care practitioners understand how a patient might use them: aced’as, heartburn, pain in lower esophagus perceived as in the heart. Uno tiene la tendencia a sufrir de aced’as despuŽs de comer chile. One has a tendency to suffer heartburn after eating chile. (syn: acidez, agruras del est—mago) In the English-to-Spanish section, English words are translated into simple Spanish terms along with English synonyms.Now available in a revised edition, this handy reference features: ¥ more than 3,000 entries ¥ new entries that reflect current health problems and treatments ¥ inclusion of cognates ¥ Spanish definitions of English words ¥ anatomical drawings with bilingual labels ¥ more material on medicinal plants, including an appendix of poisonous and non-poisonous plants ¥ lists of food items and kinship termsThis book is an indispensable reference for all health care professionals who see patients of Mexican origin.
