The Use of Prosodic Markers to Indicate Utterance Boundaries in American Sign Language Interpretation
Author: Brenda Nicodemus
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780549084594
Category : American Sign Language
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
This description of prosodic markers in ASL interpretation contributes to the extremely limited literature on the use of prosody in signed languages (e.g., Baker & Padden, 1978; Boyes-Braem, 1999; Liddell, 1986; Sandler, 1999c), and is also unusual in focusing on the use of phrasing in interpretation. The results presented here provide support for the claim that prosodic structure is exploited in all human languages, regardless of the modality of expression.

Parameters of Predicate Fronting
Author: Vera Lee-Schoenfeld
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0197545572
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Many of the world's languages permit or require clause-initial positioning of the primary predicate, potentially alongside some or all of its dependents. While such predicate fronting (where "fronting" may or may not involve movement) is a widespread phenomenon, it is also subject to intricate and largely unexplained variation. In Parameters of Predicate Fronting, Vera Lee-Schoenfeld and Dennis Ott bring together leaders in the field of comparative syntax to explore the empirical manifestations and theoretical modelling of predicate fronting across languages. There exists by now a rich literature on predicate fronting, but few attempts have been made at synthesizing the resulting empirical observations and theoretical implementations. While individual phenomena have been described in some detail, we are currently far from a complete understanding of the uniformity and variation underlying the wider cross-linguistic picture. This volume takes steps towards this goal by showcasing the state of the art in research on predicate fronting and the parameters governing its realization in a range of diverse languages. Covering topics like prosody, VP-fronting, and predicate doubling across a wide arrange of languages, including English, German, Malagasy, Niuean, Ch'ol, Asante, Twi, Limbum, Krachi, Hebrew, and multiple sign languages, this collection enriches our understanding of the predicate fronting phenomenon.

Researching Translation and Interpreting
Author: Claudia V. Angelelli
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317479394
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
This volume offers a comprehensive view of current research directions in Translation and Interpreting Studies, outlining the theoretical concepts underpinning that research and presenting detailed discussions of the various methods used. Organized around three factors that are responsible for shaping the study of translation and interpreting today—post-positivist theoretical approaches, developments in the language industry, and technological innovations—this volume is divided into three parts: Part I introduces the basic concepts organizing translation and interpreting research, such as the difference between qualitative and quantitative research, between product-oriented and process-oriented studies, and between prescriptive and descriptive approaches. Part II provides a theoretical mapping of current translation and interpreting research, covering the theories underlying the current conceptualization of translation and interpreting, from queer studies to cognitive science. Part III explores the key methodological approaches to research in Translation and Interpreting Studies, including corpus-based, longitudinal, observational, and ethnographic studies, as well as survey and focus group-based studies. The international range of contributors are all leading research experts who use the methodologies in their work. They present the research aims of these methods, offer sample research questions that can—and cannot—be addressed by these methods, and discuss modes of data collection and analysis. This is an essential reference for all advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers in Translation and Interpreting Studies.
