Explore how psycholinguistics shape perception and behavior in this workshop. Taking a thousand foot view of language itself, we’ll examine manipulative language, what words connote/denote, and how these “Word Weapons” affect interpreting choices, our Deaf clients, and even, unwitting bystanders.
Educational Objectives:
Participants will be able to
- Examine real-world examples of “Word Weapons”, identifying how and why they’re used in conversation.
- Analyze everyday words/phrases for their real meanings.
- Apply a broadened awareness of, and be able to better wield, these linguistic skills to improve interpreter output.
