Download or read book Healthcare Interpreting written by Franz Pöchhacker and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume – the first-ever collection of research on healthcare interpreting – centers on three interrelated themes: cross-cultural communication in healthcare settings, the interactional role of persons serving as interpreters and the discourse patterns of interpreter-mediated interaction. The individual chapters, by seven innovative researchers in the area of community-based interpreting, represent a pioneering attempt to look beyond stereotypical perceptions of interpreter-mediated interactions. First published as a Special Issue of Interpreting 7:2 (2005), this volume offers insights into the impact of the interpreter – whether s/he is a trained professional or a member of the patient's family – including ways in which s/he may either facilitate or impair reliable communication between patient and healthcare provider. The five articles cover a range of settings and specialties, from general medicine to pediatrics, psychiatry and speech therapy, using languages as diverse as Arabic, Dari, Farsi, Italian and Spanish in combination with Danish, Dutch, English and French.

Download or read book Non professional Interpreting and Translation written by Rachele Antonini and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the light of recent waves of mass immigration, non-professional interpreting and translation (NPIT) is spreading at an unprecedented pace. While as recently as the late 20th century much of the field was a largely uncharted territory, the current proportions of NPIT suggest that the phenomenon is here to stay and needs to be studied with all due academic rigour. This collection of essays is the first systematic attempt at looking at NPIT in a scholarly and at the same time pragmatic way. Offering multiple methods and perspectives, and covering the diverse contexts in which NPIT takes place, the volume is a welcome turn in an all too often polarized debate in both academic and practitioner circles.

Download or read book Il mediatore culturale Ruolo competenze e ambiti di intervento written by and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2022-12-23 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Pedagogy - Intercultural Pedagogy, grade: 8, , language: Italian, abstract: L'immigrato che arriva si trova in una posizione di svantaggio, per motivi culturali ma anche sociali, la domanda che pone l'esigenza di favorire l'inserimento e di garantire l'eguaglianza delle opportunità a tutti, compreso agli immigrati è: come fare per garantire questa eguaglianza rispettando e tenendo conto della differenza? La comunicazione e la mediazione interculturale si occupano di come restituire la "capacità di funzionamento" della persona immigrata in un contesto socialmente e culturalmente nuovo. La comunicazione in un contesto multiculturale implica la capacità di porsi in maniera dialogica nel rapporto con l'Altro, l'immigrato. Ormai la nostra società è diventata multietnica e pluriculturale, ma la multiculturalià della società non significa incontro e dialogo bensì necessità di creare le condizioni per uno scambio positivo e una reciprocità fondamentale a qualsiasi forma di convivialità. Ed è proprio in questo scenario che il ruolo del mediatore interculturale si rivela di assoluta importanza per garantire tali condizioni.

Download or read book Variation and Change in Spanish written by Ralph Penny and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-05-20 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book applies recent theoretical insights to trace the development of Castilian and Latin American Spanish from the Middle Ages onwards, through processes of repeated dialect mixing both within the Iberian Peninsula and in the New World. The author contends that it was this frequent mixing which caused Castilian to evolve more rapidly than other varieties of Hispano-Romance, and which rendered Spanish particularly subject to levelling of its linguistic irregularities and to simplification of its structures. These two processes continued as the language extended into and across the Americas. These processes are viewed in the context of the Hispano-Romance dialect continuum, which includes Galician, Portuguese and Catalan, as well as New World varieties. The book emphasises the subtlety and seamlessness of language variation, both geographical and social, and the impossibility of defining strict boundaries between varieties. Its conclusions will be relevant both to Hispanists and to historical sociolinguists more generally.

Download or read book On the Edge of Scarcity written by Michael N. Dobkowski and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2002-02-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernization and Industrialization have presented the human race with many problems, inflicting deprivation, poverty, war and premature death on millions of people. Until recently, however, solutions were achievable. Drawn from the much-acclaimed Coming Age of Scarcity and adapted here for general classroom use, this work will be an ideal introduction to courses in population, environment and resources, genocide studies, and social conflict. As we enter the twenty-first century, several components converge, namely population, land for cultivation, energy resources, and environmental carrying capacity. Michael N. Dobkowski and Isidor Wallimann establish a realistic projection of the disastrous future that awaits humankind as surplus populations collide with dwindling resources. Scholars from a variety of disciplines investigate the problems and suggest ways to maximize individual and collective survival, discussing cause-and-effect scenarios concerning industrialization, biophysical limits, exponential population growth, and genocide.
