Process Models
Regardless of interpretation between spoken
languages or signed languages, the
interpreting process requires linguistic
analysis of complex Source Language
utterances as quickly and efficiently as
possible. This requires recognizing and
capturing all of the nuances of a language
and expressing them clearly into a Target
Language.

lexical (word for word) processing, to
phrasal, then sentential, on to a
textual/discourse level of processing
language.
