Si, I would guess, that the Florida registry would be the ideal one for me. Correct?

This is a simple question and I know (maybe) the answer. But just to be certain I'll ask it anyway: Terps sign spoken English to ASL and vice versa?

Your statement is a very rudimentary explanation. The process of interpreting is much more complex.
The goal of the interpreter is to make the communication experience as complete as possible for both hearing and deaf or hard of hearing participants. To accomplish this, interpreters must relay as accurately as possible the meaning of the messages being presented, including the nuances of feelings and attitudes conveyed by the participants, whether those messages are in spoken English or ASL or other types of signed communication. Thus, interpreters must be fluent in both English and ASL. In addition, interpreters must be able to modify their language use to fit the needs of the participants involved in an interpreted situation. |

And even that isn't an explanation of the whole process! There are entire courses in ITP's that talk about how interpreting works. As in, how the brain does the work. It's really very exhausting work...if I interpret for a two-hour presentation solo, I feel like I'm very drunk. Totally useless, unable to think straight at all. There is a LOT involved with interpreting. It's cultural mediation, it's storytelling, it's tech-talk, it's being transparent...it's really complicated.
AB, I strongly recommend the "So You Want to Be an Interpreter" book to get more of an idea about the profession you want to go into. You said you have "Interpreting: An Introduction" and that's a good one, but "So You Wanna" (as it's often called) is even better. |

Quote:
In one of the Deaf Culture books (Deaf in America: Voices from a Culture or the blue "American Deaf Culture" by Wilcox), the author talks about that if someone is signing on stage and someone walks in and asks, "What is that?" it is acceptable to say "sign language." On the other hand, if someone is on stage speaking Russian and someone walks in and says, "What is that?" it is unacceptable to say "Oh, that's spoken language." For some reason people don't get that sign language isn't a language; American Sign Language is. Sign is a mode of language, not a language in and of itself. I prefer the term signed language interpreter, not sign language interpreter. I know it's a small distinction, but technically "sign language interpreter" isn't semantically correct.

What exactly is Gestuno and is it important for Terps to have (at least) a basic understanding of it? And what about PSE? Must it be learned as well?

PSE is Pidgin Signed English. Among spoken languages, pidgin languages come into being when there are two languages that are used in the same area.
The dictionary says pidgin is: "an auxiliary language that has come into existence through the attempts by the speakers of two different languages to communicate and that is primarily a simplified form of one of the languages, with a reduced vocabulary and grammatical structure and considerable variation in pronunciation. " PSE is, for all practical purposes, ASL vocabulary in English word order.

I just got a call from the college and the ASL class that I registered for has been cancelled. Registration was low so they removed the course.

I'm not upset, I'm just trying to get you to think on your feet like you will have to do when you are an interpreter. Right now, you're asking others for answers. While interpreting, you will often have a team interpreter, but you can't expect them to feed you every word. You have to be actively thinking to interpret, so I'm trying to show you some examples of active thinking - like parsing a Wikipedia article for whether it contains the answer to your question.

i hear international sign language is used at international conferences, and from what ive been told, you can have a basic conversation with a ISL user in ASL.
so unless you plan to work those kinds of rare situations, there's no need for it. Im sure in these situations they might use a CDI |
