CH 8 - how we approach our work Flashcards
HELPER MODEL
views Deaf people as handicapped
interpreter is viewed as caretaker
overly involved in Deaf and hearing clients– interpreter may advise, direct, or teach
ASL seen as less-than
CONDUIT/MACHINE MODEL
interpreters assume no responsibility for the interaction or communication dynamics taking place
viewed by Deaf and hearing as rigid, inflexible
views Deaf people as needing to learn to take care of themselves
Deaf culture and ASL not recognized
confuses number of signs/words with linguistic equivalents
COMMUNICATION FACILITATION MODEL
views Deaf as part of the larger handicapped population seeking inclusion in the mainstream
views asl as comm for less-educated
more aware of the importance of appropriate placement within proximity of the speaker for Deaf consumer
emphasis placed on the interpreter’s appearance
BICULTURAL-BILINGUAL (BI-BI) MODEL
recognizes Deaf as members of an oppressed minority
views the role of an interpreter as equalizing comm and empower the Deaf and hearing involved
continues to be sensitive to physical comm parameters
interpretation includes cultural and linguistic equivalents
LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL EXPANSIONS/COMPRESSIONS
manipulating the target lang output so it contains all essential elements of meaning expressed in the SL in such a way as to fit the TL norms
IN REGARD TO PHILOSOPHICAL FRAMES, WHICH DO YOU SEE IN ACTION MOST OFTEN?
now, more commonly the bi-bi model is put into effect
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHICH PHILOSOPHICAL FRAME YOU ARE OBSERVING?
If I see or hear idioms, cultural expansions/explanations, I know this is the Bi-Bi model
Ex: expanding “DISCUSSION OPEN” to say in Eng, “the floor is yours”
RID CODE OF ETHICS
Developed partially in response to the helper model, details morals and ethics for sign language interpreters to follow and practice ethically
LINGUISTIC EXPANSION
involves interpreting implicit information or ideas, as well as the explicit information and ideas, if it is needed to guarantee full communication
CULTURAL EXPANSION
providing the contextual information required to make sense out of something that is signed or said to someone without the requisite schema or experiential frame; done within the form of the interpretation
LINGUISTIC NEED
A language sometimes demands the overt statement of information that is understood but unstated in another language.
CULTURAL NEED
culture defines certain behavior as acceptable or unacceptable, necessary or unnecessary. Language reflects these cultural norms
