Talk:Visual Language Interpreting/Tools of the Trade

1. I suggest that some or all of this very comprehensive and interesting description of the processes of consecutive also appear on the wikipedia page for interpreting which currently contains a fairly poor definition.

2. Seleskovitch is rightly considered the parent of the profession and the academic study of interpreting, however, "dropping form" and "deverbalisation" have now been largely discredited. (Sorry that I am not able to give specific references, I am no academic, but I think much of what Daniel Gile has written, for example, demonstrates that the theory doesn't hold water. )
