Chung, Hye-yeon. (2007). Associative Sight Translation : A Pedagogical Method to avoid Interference. Interpreting and Translation Studies 10-2, pp.105-126.
Everybody who works in the field of translation and interpretation knows what sight translation is. But no consensus has been made till now on how to do it the best and how to avoid one of the greatest difficulties of sight translation i.e. linguistic interference.
This paper is suggesting - on the base of the knowledge from cognitive linguistics - a method of sight translation which is called 'associative sight translation'. According to this method the source text is reprocessed based on its content and structure. That is to say, cues on content and structure are marked in the text. The text is first dissected into smaller semantic units and within these semantic units a fixed number of cue words are selected, which function as associative cues to make the interpreters free to produce their individual target texts. This can be an effective strategy to avoid linguistic interference in the process of sight translation because the interpreters produce their target texts only on the base of the semantic and structural cues that the source text provides, and not on the base of the whole text analyzing its syntactic and semantic features as non-professionals might do, when asked to translate a text on the spot.
