ABSTRACT

Schema theory believes that related schemata in brain will be activated when they are highly matched to new information, which helps interpreters to swiftly understand the speaker, reduce the memory load and improve the delivery quality. Therefore, pre-interpreting preparation plays an important role for interpreters. Therefore, taking schema theory as its theoretical framework, this thesis demonstrates the importance of pre-interpreting preparation by analyzing the thorough preparation in terms of three schemata.

KEYWORDS

Pre-interpreting preparation, schema theory, three types of schema, interpreting quality
