Abstract

More than 170 million people in the world have some kind of speech impairment. The lack of professional interpreters in this domain causes their families to need to learn new communicative strategies to interact with them and assist them as interpreters. The aim of this paper is to analyze the role of these non-professional interpreters for adults with a speech impairment caused by an acquired brain injury. Data come from 13 qualitative interviews and participant observations of 7 persons with acquired brain injury and their families during 18 months. The paper shows the communicative and multimodal strategies these ad-hoc interpreters use to understand the person with impaired speech and the strategies such persons use to make themselves understandable. It also shows how meaning is negotiated and jointly constructed, the power dynamics that emerge from interpreting practices and the impact this has on the speech-impaired persons’ agency.

后天语言障碍患者的沟通:家庭作为语言中介的角色
世界上有超过1.7亿人有某种语言障碍。由于这一领域专业口译人员的缺乏,他们的家庭需要学习新的交际策略来与他们互动,并作为口译员帮助他们。本文的目的是分析这些非专业口译员在成人获得性脑损伤引起的语言障碍中的作用。数据来自18个月内对7名获得性脑损伤患者及其家属的13次定性访谈和参与者观察。本文展示了这些临时口译员用来理解言语障碍者的交际和多模态策略,以及这些人用来使自己被理解的策略。它还展示了意义是如何协商和共同构建的,口译实践中出现的权力动态以及这对言语障碍者代理的影响。
