In\u0000 law, the communicative vulnerability of children is manifest in forensic protocols for interviewing children. These are designed\u0000 to retrieve information in a child-aware fashion, as well as to produce evidence with sufficient integrity to stand up under the\u0000 scrutiny of the criminal process. This article will consider some of the added challenges of interpreter-mediated interviews for\u0000 minors. Drawing on research into monolingual child interviewing, the article proposes how some of the interpreting related aspects\u0000 of this challenge may be addressed through the adaptation of elements of reflexive coordination in the widely used NICHD child\u0000 interviewing protocol. The authors call for the data-based testing of these adaptations and suggests that modifications of\u0000 institutional speech genres for bilingual use may be a component of mainstreaming public service interpreting.","PeriodicalId":43877,"journal":{"name":"Translation and Interpreting Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2018-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48551505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By means of a questionnaire, interpreters provided feedback on their training, working\u0000 conditions, and their work experience, while the standard of the interpreting service was assessed by users of interpreting\u0000 services who rated the service on eleven different levels. These different levels were derived from previous studies to connect the\u0000 literature with the outcomes of the collected data. The article concludes that there is much room for improvement of the\u0000 interpreting service currently provided at the provincial legislature.

The article first demonstrates how the historical\u0000 development of jiao in Chinese reveals numerous previously neglected patterns of Chinese spirituality. Using Friedrich\u0000 Schleiermacher’s and Max Müller’s viewpoints, the article suggests the significance of translation in redefining a concept via the\u0000 particularity of foreign culture. It then examines how James Legge, Jan Jakob Maria de Groot, William Edward Soothill, Bertrand\u0000 Russell, and Ernest Richard Hughes and K. Hughes redefine religion in their translations of jiao. Highlighting jiao and religion\u0000 as fluid categories via scholars’ translations and debates, my article challenges simplistic assumptions about Western supremacy\u0000 in Sino-Western acculturation. It affirms the traditions and translations of jiao as powerful agents for shaping and enriching the\u0000 meanings and phenomena of religion in the globalizing dynamics of human cultural interactions.","PeriodicalId":43877,"journal":{"name":"Translation and Interpreting Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2018-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47823714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless the concept has become deeply embedded in European\u0000 understandings of Chinese language and culture, to the extent that it is, in effect, a valuable conceptual possession of Western\u0000 modernity (Bush 2010), and promoted alike by those with a detailed knowledge of Chinese\u0000 writing, such as H. G. Creel (1936), as by those in blissful ignorance of it, like\u0000 Jacques Derrida (1967/1976). In the Sinophone sphere, while for most practical\u0000 purposes, as well as in a large proportion of scholarly work, more grounded understandings of Chinese characters as a writing\u0000 system operate either implicitly or explicitly, the traditional emphasis on characters as a link between civilization and the\u0000 cosmos (O’Neill 2013), as well as a long tradition of pedagogical “just so stories”\u0000 about the construction of individual characters (e.g., Zuo 2005), provide a key point of contact with Western notions of the\u0000 “ideograph” as symbolizing not a word, but an idea or an object. The situation may thus be described involving a type of inversion\u0000 of the phenomenon of faux amis or “false friends,” where two different words are understood as\u0000 being more or less synonymous; or alternatively as an example of Lydia Liu’s (2004)\u0000 notion of a cross-lingual “supersign” where two comparable terms exercise an influence on each other across linguistic and\u0000 cultural boundaries. This article will attempt to trace the genealogy of these complex and overlapping notions, and see what\u0000 differing understandings of Chinese characters have to tell us about notions of cultural specificity, cultural production, and\u0000 cross-cultural (mis-)communication in the contemporary globalized world.","PeriodicalId":43877,"journal":{"name":"Translation and Interpreting Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2018-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48038256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To integrate these findings and to obtain a better understanding of interpreting training, the present article tries to reinterpret students of interpreting training as complex dynamic systems. Relying primarily on longitudinal empirical data from several existing studies, the article illustrates how the initial state of some key parameters influences the progress of the systems, how the parameters themselves evolve, and how interpreting competence develops as a result of self-organization. The hope is that a metatheoretical framework such as Dynamic Systems Theory will allow specific findings and particularistic models for interpreting training to be integrated. Moreover, this approach may allow false dichotomies in the field to be overcome and seemingly contradictory data in empirical reports to be better understood, thereby providing guidelines for future research.","PeriodicalId":43877,"journal":{"name":"Translation and Interpreting Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2018-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47826173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
