In this series, Dr. Cates will explain six elements of discourse mapping that influence the overall clarity of a signed interpretation: stress or emphasis for important words or phrases, register, use of verb directionality/pronominal system, use of space for comparison/contrast, sequence and cause/effect, location/relationship using ASL classifier system, and appropriate eye contact and movement. In each module, Dr. Cates will teach about one element with example interpretations at various EIPA skill levels. Interpreters will have the opportunity to practice identifying and using the element. The techniques in these modules can be applied to any practice material in order to build discourse mapping skills.
