The Logicalization Of The Discourse Meaning In Consecutive Interpretation

Interpretation involves a logical process going through the whole course ofcomprehension and expression. In view of the huge differences between Chinese andEnglish languages, linguistic thinking and other problems that the interpreter mayencounter, the logicalization in the process is more important. It deals with not onlythe cohesion and coherence of the discourse but also the logical relations, for thelogical relations are the chains linking the key points of the speaker’s speech. Withoutlogic, the interpretation in the target language will be nothing but the fallout pearlsand will never become the shining necklace. Logicalization could reduce the badinfluence caused by the speaker’s accent, speed and the obscure logic of speech. Itcould deepen the comprehension, increase the fluency and smoothness of the targetlanguage and also be conducive to the completing of the interpreting task.This thesis studies several logical relations through a specific case and exploresthe relation of logic and language differences. It, based on the author’s owninterpretation practice, summarizes the strategies that we could use to achievecoherence and improve the interpretation performance.
