A Construction Of Processing Model Of Interpreting From The Perspective Of The Interpretive Theory

The core of this thesis is the constructing of the Processing Model of Interpreting. In this thesis, I take the Triangle Model of Danica Seleskovitch's Interpretive Theory as main frame of my Model. The Processing Model of this thesis includes three main sections, that is, Listening and Analysis, Deverbalization and Reverbalization, which are similar to the three sections of the Interpretive Theory (Understanding, Deverbalization and Re-expression).Based on the Interpretive Theory, this thesis postulates that the objective of interpreting is the sense of the source language rather than the language and sense is the product of Deverbalization. Therefore, sense is presented as the product of Deverbalization in the Model. In addition, I put Deverbalization in the middle of the Model to emphasize the central role of it in the process of interpreting.I also hold that some knowledge of other subjects, especially some cognitive subjects, such as, cognitive psychology and psycholinguistics can do a favor to explain some phenomena in interpreting. I cite some important concepts of these disciplines, such as Schema, memory and Parole Plan. I believe that grasping such kind of knowledge and skills can facilitate the performance of interpreters.During the course of my thesis writing, I also do some experimental work to testify the importance of all the items included in the Processing Model of Interpreting of this thesis. All the important elements that affect the performance of interpreters will be integrated in the Processing Model of Interpreting together with some useful interpreting skills. I also mention some limitations and anticipations at the end of this thesis and hope that this research can provide some enlightenment to the further interpretation studies and practice.
