Linguistic Analysis of Changes in Interpreting: 1973-1985.

Rudser, Steven Fritsch

Sign Language Studies, v53 p332-40 Win 1986

The performance of two sign language interpreters in interpreting and transliterating two English texts in 1973 and again in 1985 was analyzed. Both interpreters significantly increased their use of four linguistic features of American Sign Language: classifiers; rhetorical questions; noun-adjective word order; and nonmanual negation.
