Subject: Gesture in spoken and signed-to-spoken language interpreting

 
Full Title: Gesture in spoken and signed-to-spoken language interpreting 

Date: 09-Jul-2023 - 14-Jul-2023
Location: Brussels, Belgium 
Contact Person: Alan Cienki
Meeting Email: a.cienki at vu.nl

Linguistic Field(s): Pragmatics; Translation 

Call Deadline: 01-Nov-2022 

Meeting Description:

Gestures have been frequently observed in interpreted discourse, either when
spoken language interpreters work in the booth and are not visible, as in
(simultaneous) conference interpreting, or when they are “visible” to the
audience, as in community interpreting. Sign language interpreters do not work
in a booth, as they need to be visible to the audience when they interpret
into the signed language. Depending on the type of service, they are also
visible to the audience when interpreting into the spoken language (e.g. in
liaison interpreting) or at least to the deaf/hearing signing person on stage
who is being interpreted (e.g. in a conference, the interpreter sits in the
first rows of the audience). Regardless of the modality of the source
discourse (spoken or signed) and of whether they are seen or not, many
interpreters gesture in their spoken target production.

The study of gesture and interpreting can shed light on how interpreters
structure their discourse and on how their bodily actions construct meaning.
Researching interpreters’ gestures with their speech may uncover specificities
of interpreting that have been overlooked so far. The findings may also have
potential for application in improving the quality of interpreting services
and interpreters’ training.

This panel aims to contribute to this incipient field of study by gathering
scholars who work on gesture in interpreted discourse. Our goal is to foster
the discussion and collaboration between researchers working with different
language pairs and modalities. We welcome contributions in which the source
language is spoken or signed, and the target language is spoken. The panel is
open to any topic involving gesture in interpreting, perspectives (including
both elicited and naturalistic data) and settings (conference interpreting,
liaison interpreting, etc.).


Call for Papers:

2. Log into https://ipra2023.exordo.com/login and fill in the information
required in order to submit your abstract.

Submissions will be for a 30-minute slot in which the talk should ideally be
