The Study of Note-taking and Memory in Consecutive Interpretation
Lecture Notes in Information Technology,, (2012)
Abstract
This study examines the role of note-taking in consecutive interpretation. Liu Minhua’s process model and Gile’s effort model on consecutive interpretation are used here as basic theoretic frameworks. The complex relationship between memory and note-taking are analysed cognitively and psychologically to explore the role of note-taking in consecutive interpretation. And results find that behind the competitive relationship, there is actually cooperation among comprehension, memory and note-taking; note-taking has been built as an image of ‘a necessary helper’ in consecutive interpretation. These findings are expected to provide some implications in teaching and skills in interpretation, also pave the way for further study of note-taking in interpretation.
