Incorporating Metaphor & Idioms 2 CD set: 1A & 1B
Product Information PS/GS
- 12 hours/1.2 CEUs (Comprehensive Activities* 18 hours/ 1.8 CEUs).
This workshop has a four-fold focus: to understand what consumers might visualize if there is not an interpretation of idiomatic and metaphoric expressions (e.g., the conveying of the information into the target language is rendered from the source language in essentially the same form such as water under the bridge being signed as water under the bridge); to provide one possible ASL interpretation of these expressions in context; to provide you with the underlying meanings of the idiomatic expressions; and since a significant degree of English is spoken via idiomatic phrases, it would follow that our interpretations from ASL to English should contain these expressions; therefore, the final focus will be to assist in using these idiomatic phrases in our ASL to English interpretations to make them sound more "hearing-like".
Rendering a voiced English interpretation using idiomatic phrases requires a strong command of idiomatic phrases and the ability to watch an ASL signed message and match an equivalent phrase maintaining the integrity of the message both culturally and linguistically. This is the first in a series of wwworkshops in which Pat will guide you through the phrases providing you the context in which these idioms might be seen, an ASL interpretation of these, a possible English interpretation into these idiomatic phrases and finally, with the assistance from a series of posters called "Proverbidioms", he will show you an hilarious and graphical representation of what Deaf consumers might visualize when idiomatic phrases are not interpreted conceptually. To get the maximum benefit and fun from this workshop, it will be necessary to have the poster that Pat will use to illustrate the idiomatic phrases. These posters will be sold at a discount as a companion purchase with the idiomatic wwworkshops.
