"Simvolotvorčestvo" ustnogo perevodčika (obučenie konspektirovaniju pri posledovatel’nom perevode)

Abstract

Consecutive interpretation requires quite a lot of intellectual and physical effort from the interpreter. One of the factors that makes interpretation rather difficult is the length of sections of the text that should be translated. Having acquired the special skill of taking notes, the interpreter makes his work easier and becomes more independent of the speaker's habit. The author shares his experience in working out his own way of taking notes, pointing out a certain need for “creative attitude” that has to be acquired by students on interpreting courses.
