Communicative Approach To CI Strategies Investigation

Interpretation is a cross-disciplinary social science. It is a special information conveyance process with cross-cultural and cross-linguistic characteristics. The thesis introduces communication model into process study of interpretation under the communication framework, analyzes communication barriers and possible problems in interpretation process guided by the"noise"and"redundancy"theory. An interpretation strategy system is hence put forward. Emphasis is given at last to the cultivation of interpreter's strategic competence, providing some new thoughts for interpreting training.In 1960s, Eugene Nida began to incorporate research results of communication and information theory into translation studies. Later more foreign and domestic experts were engaged in this area. This thesis elaborates first the unique features about"who","what", and"channel"in interpreting process according to 5-W formula of Laswell. Combing Shannon's linear information model, the author reviews the strategic analysis and application in previous researches based on the understanding that a strategy is problem-oriented and communicative goal-oriented.In the third Chapter, the author explores the possible obstacles in communicative process of interpretation according to"redundancy"and"noise"theory. Imbalanced language redundancy may lead to information overloading, and multi-channel in interpreting will produce double noise, all creating barriers and potential problems at each stage of interpretation.In Chapter 4, the author proposes a complete strategy system in correspondence to the comprehension problem, rendering problem and monitoring problem and the sub-class strategies. Though strategies are problem-oriented, yet there's also individual difference. The automatization of strategy use will be enhanced with increased degree of familiarity of these strategies.
