Processing Workshop

This workshop discusses a technique called "Four Folding," which is a text (discourse) analysis technique which focuses on certain aspects of the speaker and the message, as opposed to the specific vocabulary within the text. Presented and researched by Cynthia Herbst and Sandra Gish, it was shared with Accent on Interpreting by Sharon Wade. It should be looked at as a tool to help strengthen ones processing skills as they relate to interpreting.

The technique involves literally folding one sheet of paper into fourths (hence the name). Each quadrant is used to determine certain points of information related to the speaker/signer/author or the speaker/signer/author's message.
