Workshop Information: 

This workshop will frame interpreting as a cognitive linguistic process, allowing participants to apply a usage-based perspective of language and communication to the choices we make in our interpretations every day. We will discuss communication and language in depth, re-framing the interpreting process as consistent decision making.. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in activities focused on discourse features, ASL and English sentence structures, context cues, etc. This workshop will challenge the standard way of thinking about interpreting, allowing you to take control of your processing, making it work for you!
