The amazing brains of the real-time interpreters One morning this summer I paid a visit to the sole United Nations agency in London. The headquarters of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) sits on the southern bank of the Thames, a short distance upstream from the Houses of Parliament. As I approached, I saw that a ship’s prow, sculpted in metal, was grafted like a nose to the ground floor of this otherwise bland building. Inside I met a dozen or so mostly female IMO translators. I walked upstairs to a glass-fronted booth, where I prepared to witness something both absolutely remarkable and utterly routine. Let’s unpick what she did that morning and itemise its components. As the delegate spoke, Pinkney had to make sense of a message composed in one language while simultaneously constructing and articulating the same message in another tongue. Intriguing region Neuroscientists have explored language for decades and produced scores of studies on multilingual speakers. Simultaneous interpretation often evokes a sense of drama.
FeedBack from the Field ... the Interpreter Speaks ... by Anastasia Antoniou MBA Welcome! FeedBack from the Field ... the Interpreter Speaks ... will be a collection of real stories from interpreters - an interpreter is someone who understands at least two languages and acts as a conduit between two or more people in order to facilitate communication.

An interpretation can take place in many settings and set of circumstances - anywhere where there are at least two people who want to communicate and need a third individual to skillfully utilize their command of both present languages in order to facilitate clear and accurate communication.

Well, risks and challenges are really, for the most part, in the eye of the beholder.
Learning a second language makes you more creative in your first Over the past decade, reams of research by economists has been devoted to investigating why they failed to foresee the financial crisis, among other things economics has recently gotten wrong. This soul-searching has produced new theories, models, and policies, but it hasn’t fully repaired the reputation of the field. As time passes and the effects of the crisis fade, people still find it hard to trust economists. The latest effort to improve public opinion of economics comes from Jean Tirole, winner of the Nobel prize in economics in 2014. The Frenchman’s latest book, Economics for the Common Good (Princeton University Press), is a 560-page manifesto on how the profession can get back on track. The timing of the book—published in English this month after its original release in French last year—is pertinent. Amid a general backlash against “elites,” economists must prove their worth. He also isn’t afraid to turn the tables. An ex-post rationalization is also populism. Is this likely?

Bilingual kids have multiple advantages, no matter what the languages are We live in a world of great linguistic diversity. More than half of the world’s population grows up with more than one language. There are, on the other hand, language communities that are monolingual, typically some parts of the English-speaking world. In this case, bilingualism or multilingualism can be seen as an extraordinary situation – a source of admiration and worry at the same time. On a smaller scale, we all know families where bilingualism or multilingualism are the norm, because the parents speak different languages or because the family uses a language different from that of the community around them. How difficult is it for a child to grow up in such an environment? Noses for grammar Clearly we are talking here of a range of different skills: social, linguistic and cognitive. But they also have linguistic skills, some very obvious, such as understanding and using words and expressions in different languages. Is it worth it? Code-switching is cool
Danica Seleskovitch Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Danica Seleskovitch est née à Paris le et morte à Cahors le (à 79 ans). Interprète de conférence, elle fonda, entre autres, la Théorie interprétative de la traduction. Biographie[modifier | modifier le code] Danica Seleskovitch[1] est née d’une mère française, issue d’une famille de la bourgeoisie du Nord et d’un père serbe, philosophe, appartenant à une lignée d’intellectuels yougoslaves. Depuis l’enfance, elle maîtrise plusieurs langues : d’abord le français, sa langue maternelle (chez les Seleskovitch, on a toujours parlé français) ; elle parle l’allemand comme une autochtone, et elle connaît le serbo-croate, la langue de son père. Dès son arrivée à Paris, en 1946, elle s'inscrit à la Sorbonne, où elle entreprend simultanément deux licences, d’allemand et d’anglais. Son père meurt au printemps 1950. Dès le début de sa carrière d'interprète de conférence, elle réfléchit à son métier et à la façon dont le sens passe en interprétation.
BBC Radio 4 - The Listeners, Series 2, Episode 1 Second languages can twist perception | Interviews It’s not just the words we use that can impact how we understand the world around us, the language that we use can have its own, surprising impact, as Adam Murphy’s been finding out from Manon Jones, from Bangor University... Adam - The languages we speak can impact the way we understand the world. In my limited experience, for example, Irish people are less likely to just say yes or just say no, because Irish has no words for yes and no; you respond with the verb "I did" or "I didn't". But just how deep can this change be? Manon - At the very basic perceptual level it's being shown by one of the professors, Professor Guillaume Thierry, in our lab that you actually perceive colours differently depending on how you categorise them in your native language. Adam - And it's not simply speaking a different language that changes you. Adam - Which I thought was a little insidious. Manon - It is a bit insidious, yeah.
