Interpretation Of American Sign Language

American Sign Language (ASL) is very expressive in the sense that the hands, arms and facial expression (non-manual signals) are used to acquire successful communication. Consider how hard it would be to interpret if one of these main factors were removed. As an interpreter, it is their duty to interpret with the consideration of the cross-cultural connections. This means that they must interpret with their hands, arms and non-manual signals. Though in a healthcare setting, to not acquire problematic outcomes with the interpretation, the interpreter must express the speakers emotional state but not their own emotion. Thus, in doing so, interpreters stay neutral in the situation. This performance is conducted this way so there won’t be any confusion
