Two Factors Related to Effective Voice Interpreting.

Hurwitz, T. Alan

American Annals of the Deaf, v131 n3 p248-52 Jul 1986

Thirty-two interpreters for the deaf were measured on accuracy and quality of voice interpreting of the same story in two different sign language types: Pidgin Signed English and American Sign Language. Results indicated that previous experience interpreting was significantly related to the effectiveness of voice interpreting both languages. (Author/CB)
