A Cognitive Study On The Strategy In Consecutive Interpretation

With the trend of globalization, consecutive interpretation plays an important role in the process of cross-cultural communications. Meanwhile, press conference with its characteristics of disseminating coverage and high diffusing speed has become an important approach of obtaining and publishing information.The thesis introduces the categories and characteristics of interpretation in detail. Meanwhile it emphasizes the introduction of characteristics of press conference interpretation and its existing problems. The main problem is that the people from all over the world have different cognition and understanding towards one concept. And these differences are embodied in the expression of language. From the prospective of cognitive semantics, the embodiment of the meaning relies on the cognitive frame. And the expression of the language is the trigger to activate the cognitive frame. Therefore, the purpose of consecutive interpretation is to find the target language expression that can activate the source language. Due to many different factors, there are many differences in the cognitive frames between source language and target language. The task of interpreter is to coordinate the gaps and then achieve the consensus on the understanding.Meanwhile, the author researches on the cases of "two sessions" interpretation in recent years based on frame theory and analyzes strategies for following situations, the source language audience and the target language audience who have the same cognitive frame, different cognitive frames and no corresponding cognitive frame. In this way. foreign audience would understand the connotative meaning of the speaker clearly. And the strategies proposed in this thesis will be helpful for further interpretation teaching and practice.
