Thesis in compliance with the requirements for the Doctor's Degree in Technology: Language Practice, Durban University of Technology, 2011. / This research deals with the development of a model of interpreting services for a newly merged multilingual University of Technology, the Durban University of Technology. The rationale for the study was the urgent need to give students whose mother tongue is not the medium of instruction (i.e. English) equity of access to higher-degree education. The research was carried out within a critical realist approach, which seeks to transform society by practical application of theory. Unlike previous studies in interpreting, this research focuses on the service provision aspect of interpreting. It falls within the field of educational interpreting, but goes beyond the classroom situation in considering other university interpreting needs, such as seminars and in-house conferences, graduation and other ceremonies, operational meetings and labour-related meetings. Franck‟s modelling process was used to formulate a theoretical model of the interpreting service delivery mechanism using data gathered during visitations to local and international universities. The theoretical model, or system of essential functions, was used to arrive at the applied aspect of the mechanism, termed an empirical model of interpreting service delivery. The model was then validated in terms of its application in various contexts at the Durban University of Technology. It is suggested that the theoretical and practical models developed have application not only for educational interpreting, but also in other interpreting contexts. The models are also considered to have relevance for service delivery in general, which is a critical issue at present in South Africa.

Thesis (MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2011. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: As can be seen from the very different language backgrounds of their students, tertiary institutions in South Africa have become increasingly diverse in the past few years. Consequently, their campuses are now multilingual in character and there is increasing pressure on these institutions to use more than one language of instruction. As part of the solution to this issue, the North-West University (NWU) has introduced classroom interpreting. At present, it is the only South African university that uses full-scale classroom interpreting. Other universities who use classroom interpreting (among them the University of the Free State) are currently doing so only in pilot projects. This study investigates the possibility of using interpreting at Stellenbosch University, and more specifically in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. It focuses on the receptiveness to and the potential of such a practice as well as on its logistic implications. In addition, the study explores the successes in using interpreting during lectures as well as the hindrances in doing so. It also explores the links between the language policy of the University and classroom interpreting and whether this practice is at all attainable in the faculty in question. The empirical part of the study involved an experiment in the first half of the first semester in 2010 in the Department of Social Work in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences to determine whether it would be feasible to use interpreting during lectures. An interpreting service was used to interpret lectures on various occasions in a second year as well as a third year class. The type of interpreting used was whisper interpreting with Sennheiser equipment. The study found that it would indeed be possible to have an interpreting service during lectures. Although a few problems were highlighted, they were shown to be surmountable. The majority of students who took part in the trial expressed a need for an interpreting service, even though they were happy with the University’s language policy. One of the conclusions reached is that close cooperation between the interpreter and the lecturer is of cardinal importance because it creates a relationship of trust, which in turn helps to ensure that the interpreting service is successfully implemented. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Tersiêre instellings in Suid-Afrika het die afgelope paar jaar toenemend meer divers geraak soos blyk uit studente se uiteenlopende taalagtergronde. Dit het daartoe gelei dat kampusse tans gekenmerk word deur meertaligheid en dat daar toenemende druk op hierdie instellings is om onderrig in meer as een taal aan te bied. As deel van die oplossing vir hierdie kwessie het die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) klaskamertolking geïmplementeer. Gevolglik is die NWU tans die enigste Suid-Afrikaanse universiteit wat volskaals van klaskamertolking gebruik maak. Ander universiteite (waaronder die Universiteit van die Vrystaat) gebruik ook klaskamertolking, maar tans slegs as ’n loodsprojek. Hierdie studie stel ondersoek in na die moontlikheid van tolking aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch, en meer spesifiek in die Fakulteit Lettere en Sosiale Wetenskappe. Die studie fokus op die ontvanklikheid vir en potensiaal van sodanige praktyk sowel as die logistiese implikasies daarvan. Buiten laasgenoemde fokus die studie ook daarop om die suksesse van asook struikelblokke in die toepassing van tolking tydens lesings vas te stel. Daar word gekyk na hoe die taalbeleid van die Universiteit met klaskamertolking skakel en of sodanige praktyk hoegenaamd haalbaar is in die betrokke fakulteit. Die empiriese gedeelte van die studie behels dat daar gedurende die eerste helfte van die eerste semester van 2010 ’n proef gedoen is in die Departement Maatskaplike Werk in die Fakulteit Lettere en Sosiale Wetenskappe ten einde die haalbaarheid van tolkpraktyk tydens lesings vas te stel. Daar is van ’n tolkdiens gebruik gemaak en daar is tydens verskillende geleenthede oor ’n bepaalde tydperk in ’n tweedejaars- sowel as ’n derdejaarsklas getolk. Die tipe tolking wat plaasgevind het, was fluistertolking met behulp van Sennheisertolktoerusting. Die studie bevind dat ’n tolkdiens tydens lesings wel moontlik is. Enkele oorkombare probleme is ook uitgelig. Die meerderheid studente wat aan die proef deelgeneem het, het ’n behoefte aan ’n tolkdiens, selfs al is hulle tevrede met die Universiteit se taalbeleid. Een van die gevolgtrekkings waartoe gekom word, is dat noue samewerking tussen die tolk en die dosent van kardinale belang is aangesien dit ’n vertrouensverhouding skep wat op sy beurt die suksesvolle toepassing van die tolkdiens help verseker.

A research report submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Translation (Option Interpreting) Johannesburg, 2017 / The aim of this research project is to examine the feasibility of using technology such as email and YouTube in pre-assessing potential interpreting students. This research project investigates existing pre-assessment methods and proposes a method for online interpreter pre-assessment. Pre-assessment for candidate interpreters is essential, but no standard or universal pre-assessment test exists. Scholars agree on several aspects that should be tested for, yet institutions providing interpreter training conduct pre-assessment tests differently. Generally, pre-assessment testing involves a jury or panel interviewing the potential student and observing him/her perform interpreting-related tasks. Pre-assessment by jury assessment presents several logistical and financial challenges for the institution conducting pre-assessment as well as the potential student. In poor regions such as Africa, this could prevent potentially viable interpreting students from attending pre-assessment tests. This research project investigates current pre-assessment practices in order to determine the skills generally tested for in pre-assessment tests, as well as the methods used for assessing these skills. Based on this investigation, an online delivery method is developed and evaluated in order to determine the extent to which online pre-assessment could be used as an alternative to using a jury for pre-assessment testing. Wits Language School in Johannesburg, South Africa is used as a pilot study for online interpreter pre-assessment: Interpreting students who applied for study, were given the option of online pre-assessment. After the pre-assessment, students attended a course in interpreting and their performance in the pre-assessment test was compared with their performance in the examination for the course. These results along with interviews and questionnaires provide useful information regarding the feasibility of online interpreter pre-assessment. / MT 2018

No. of bitstreams: 1 Giovanna Marcella Verdessi Hoy.pdf: 3855394 bytes, checksum: 75477ccaaf07413e197414a6218bc86e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-06-29 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / In this research, we aim to analyze the dynamism in the Ideational representation of the narrator and protagonist, Inés, in the role of Sayer and Senser in the parallel corpus of Inés del alma mía (ALLENDE, 2006) and in its translation to Brazilian Portuguese. The theoretical approach is the Systemic Functional Linguistics (HALLIDAY, MATTHIESSEN, 2004; EGGINS, 2002) on the interface of Translation Studies (CATFORD, 1965; HALLIDA, 2001; MATTHIESSEN, 2001; RODRIGUES-JÚNIOR and OLIVEIRA, 2015), and literary text (MONTGOMERY, 1993; SIMPSON, 1993; PAGANO, 2007; RODRIGUES-JÚNIOR and BARBARA, 2013). The data were submitted to the computing program called WordSmith Tools 6.0, specifically to the Word List, to the Concordance and the View & Aligner for organization and description. In the analysis of the female representations adopts the transitivity system of Systemic Functional Linguistics. In the comparison of these representations in the Source Text (SF) and in the Target Text (TT), chooses to the concepts of Ideational-shift and Ideational Equivalence (RODRIGUES-JÚNIOR and GARCIA de OLIVEIRA, 2015)) elaborated from the Catford (1968) studies and extended by Matthiessen (2001). Two hypotheses are proposed: i) the Mental and Verbal processes contribute to the dialogical and subjective dynamism in the representation of Inés, and; ii) although the Ideational Equivalences standards are more frequent, Ideational-Shift also will be found in the Ideational representation of Inés. The analysis shows that Inés is represented as a Sayer and Senser with a high degree of dialogical and subjective dynamism, making her a character capable to affect positively the community of which she belongs. It was also identified that, although Ideational equivalence has been the translator`s standard of choice, Ideational-Shift were also detected in elements of transitivity different of the Process. These changes occurred, for example, in the Circumstances that added information of mode, intensity, and time to the Inés' Ideational representation / Nesta pesquisa, objetiva-se analisar o dinamismo na representação Ideacional da narradora e protagonista, Inés, no papel de Dizente e Experienciadora no corpus paralelo Inés del alma mía (ALLENDE, 2006) e em sua tradução para o português do Brasil. A abordagem teórica é a da Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional (HALLIDAY e MATTHIESSEN, 2004; EGGINS, 2002) na interface dos estudos da tradução (CATFORD, 1965; HALLIDAY, 2001; MATTHIESSEN, 2001; RODRIGUES-JÚNIOR e GARCIA de OLIVEIRA, 2015) e do texto literário (MONTGOMERY, 1993; SIMPSON, 1993; PAGANO, 2007; RODRIGUES-JÚNIOR e BARBARA, 2013). Os dados foram submetidos ao programa computacional WordSmith Tools 6.0, especificamente à lista de palavras (word list), ao concordanciador (concordance) e ao utilitário alinhador (view & aligner) com vistas à sua organização e descrição. Na análise das representações femininas, adota-se o sistema de transitividade da Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional. Na comparação dessas representações no texto fonte (TF) e no texto alvo (TA), opta-se pelos conceitos de mudança Ideacional e de equivalência ideacional (RODRIGUES-JÚNIOR e GARCIA de OLIVEIRA, 2015) elaborados a partir dos estudos de Catford (1968) e ampliados por Matthiessen (2001). Propõem-se duas hipóteses: i) os processos Mentais e Verbais contribuem para o dinamismo dialógico e subjetivo na representação de Inés, e; ii) embora padrões de Equivalências Ideacionais sejam mais frequentes, também serão encontradas mudanças Ideacionais na representação Ideacional de Ines. A análise mostra que Inés é representada como Dizente e Experienciadora com alto grau de dinamismo dialógico e subjetivo, tornando-a uma personagem capaz de afetar positivamente a comunidade da qual faz parte. Identificou-se também que, embora a equivalência Ideacional tenha sido o padrão de escolha do tradutor, também foram detectadas mudanças Ideacionais em elementos de transitividade diferentes do Processo. Essas mudanças ocorreram, por exemplo, nas Circunstâncias que agregaram informações de modo, de intensidade, de tempo à representação Ideacional de Inés
