Disclosure and (re)performance of gender‐based evidence in an interpreter‐mediated asylum interview

In order to handle the complexities of increasing influxes of people, asylum agencies tend to adhere to static categorisations of the variability encountered in the institutional space. This study demonstrates that, although classification is to some extent inevitable, isolation of social categories (gender, age, citizenship) into policy guidelines and routine procedures can be counterproductive in socially heterogeneous settings, such as the asylum determination interview, where several participants (asylum officers, interpreters, decision makers) are deeply implicated in the discursive co‐construction of client identities. Drawing on sociolinguistic micro‐analysis of gender‐based evidence from an interpreted asylum interview in the Belgian asylum procedure, this study shows how the (re)performance of gender issues is deeply embedded in and therefore cannot be understood outside the specific socio‐discursive dynamics and the broader institutional context of the asylum interview.     

感知、疑问与解析——口述史材料的解读与使用

口述史是历史亲历者叙述的历史,在历史事件的还原与解析上具有独特的优势。但在实际调查中人们会发现,被访问者受舆论教育宣传的熏陶、现实环境的影响以及利益的显性与隐形驱使,对历史事件的表述体现出个人色彩。对此,要对口述材料价值予以正确定位与合理分析,要坚持以口述材料为基础得出结论,并在相关理论指导下组织材料,不断丰富、充实现有理论体系。     

语言顺应论指导下的口译顺应观——交替传译中的“变异”与“变译”

语言顺应理论创始人维索尔伦所阐述的语言顺应论的三大特征中,变异性是其对口译＂顺应＂最具直接指导意义的核心特征。因此,＂变异＂在宏观上提供了一种可行的策略,在交替传译中实现源语和译语间的整体＂顺应＂;而＂变译＂作为一种最常被采用的具体方法,消解因文化、结构、句法带来的翻译障碍,实现源语和译语转换过程当中的自然过渡。对＂变异＂和＂变译＂的准确把握,有助于对交替传译活动做出宏观和微观两个层面的理解。     

Partition of a query set into minimal number of subsets having consecutive retrieval property

This paper is concerned with information retrieval. The basic problem is how to store large masses of data in such a way that whenever information regarding some particular aspect of the data is needed, such information is easily and efficiently retrieved. Work in this field is thus very important for organizations dealing with large classes of data.The consecutive retrieval (C-R) property defined by S.P. Ghosh is an important relation between a set of queries and a set of records. Its existence enables the design of information retrieval system with a minimal search time and no redundant storage in that the records can be organized in such a way that those pertinent to any query are stored in consecutive storage locations. The C-R property, however, can not exist between every arbitrary query set and every record set.A subset of the query set Q having the C-R property is called a C-R subset and a C-R subset having the maximum cardinality is called the maximal C-R subset. A partition of Q is called the C-R partition if every subset has the C-R property. A C-R partition with minimum number of subsets is called the minimal C-R partition. With respect to the set of all binary queries and the set of all binary records, it is shown that the maximal cardinality of a C-R subset is 2l-1 where l is the number of attributes concerned. A combinatorial characterization of a maximal C-R subset is also given. A lower bound on the number of subsets in a C-R partition and several examples which attain the lower bound are given. A general procedure for obtaining a minimal C-R partition which attains the lower bound is given provided the number of attributes is even.

Translation style and participant roles in court interpreting1

This paper investigates the translation styles of court interpreters in New York City and the styles' social and pragmatic implications for multilingual interactions in court. Interpreters are found to vary between using first or third person to represent the voice of a translated source speaker, thereby varying between adherence to explicit institutional norms that require first person and accommodation to non‐professional interpreting practices that favor the use of reported speech. In a quantitative and qualitative analysis, this variation is shown to be influenced by several pragmatic and social factors, and to index the interpreters' stances towards source speakers and towards the immigrant court users who are the recipients of translations from English. It is argued that translation styles have profound consequences for limited English speakers, as the insistence on institutional norms in translating to them is viewed as a gatekeeping behavior that may impede their full participation in the proceedings.
