A Comparison On The Degrees Of "Deverbalization" In Different Types Of Interpretation

This thesis attempts to quantify and compare the different degrees of"deverbalization"in Dialogue Interpretation (specified in Chapter 4), Consecutive Interpretation and Simultaneous Interpretation ----which are the major types of interpretation in our life.Firstly, the author proposed a hypothesis: the degree of"deverbalization"in Simultaneous Interpretation, restricted by the high-class occasions, special subjects and short time allocation, will be compromised. Secondly, the Theory of Sense is reviewed. The author starts from the development of the research of interpretation, proceeds to the initiation, development and establishment of the Theory of Sense. Thirdly, the contents of the Theory of Sense are introduced, emphasizing the definition of the different levels of translation and the creative triangular model, as well as some important concepts in the Theory of Sense. Fourthly, the author briefly reviewed the development of the Theory of Sense in China, especially the efforts and fruits of three graduates from ESIT.The last part of this thesis is an experiment in which the degrees of"deverbalization"of Dialogue Interpretation, Consecutive Interpretation and Simultaneous Interpretation are quantified and compared in the light of some variables designated by the author. The experiment enables the author to draw the tentative conclusion that the degree of"deverbalization"of Simultaneous Interpretation will not be affected by all the restrictions.
