Politics, (con)text and genre: applying CDA and DHA to interpreter training
Boyd, Michael S.
Monacelli, Claudia
2010
Abstract
This study proposes the application of a number of important tenets from Critical
Discourse Analysis, specifically the Discourse-Historical Approach, to interpreter
studies and training. It recognizes the crucial distinctions of text, discourse and
genre in the sphere of politics and proposes a multi-layered interdisciplinary
model of context to analyze source texts. The application of the model is illustrated
on three political speeches that share the pro-active discourse of climate change.
