Wednesday June 24

1 PM - 2:30 PM PST

Explore how psycholinguistics shape perception and behavior in this 1.5 hour workshop. Taking a thousand foot view of language itself, we'll examine manipulative language, what words connote/denote, and how these "Word Weapons" affect interpreting choices, our Deaf clients, and even, unwitting bystanders.

In this workshop, Interpreters will:

• Examine real-world examples of "Word Weapons", identifying how and why they're used in conversation
• Analyze everyday words/phrases for their real meanings
• Apply a broadened awareness of, and be able to better wield, these linguistic skills to improve interpreter output

*Contains sensitive linguistic examples

**For working interpreters and ITP students
