Interpreting in the Zone
2016
Overview
Successful interpretation can feel seamless, an intuitive and
efficient translation of meaning from one signed or spoken language
to another. Yet the process of interpretation is actually quite
complex and relies upon myriad components ranging from preparation
to experience to honed judgment. Interpreting in the zone,
instinctively and confidently, is an energizing, encompassing
experience that results in great satisfaction and top
performance-but what does it take to get there? Jack Hoza's newest
research examines the components that enable interpreters to
perform successfully, looking at literature in interpretation,
cognitive science, education, psychology, and neuroscience, as well
as reviewing the results of two qualitative studies he conducted.
He seeks to uncover what it means to interpret in the zone by
understanding exactly how the brain works in interpretation
scenarios. He explores a range of dichotomies that influence
interpretation outcomes, such as:
Intuition vs. rational thought
Left brain vs. right brain
Explicit vs. implicit learning
Novice vs. master
Spoken vs. signed languages
Emotion vs. reasoning
Cognitive processes such as perception, short-term memory, and
reflexivity are strong factors in driving successful interpretation
and are explored along with habits, behaviors, and learned
strategies that can help or hinder interpretation skills. Hoza also
considers the importance of professional development and
collaboration with other practitioners in order to continually hone
expertise. Interpreting in the Zone shows that cognitive
research can help us better understand the intricacies of the
interpreting process and has implications for how to approach the
interpreting task. This resource will be of value to both the
interpreter-in-training as well as the seasoned practitioner.
