영한통역을 위한 노트테이킹 소고 = Some Notes on Note-taking for English-Korean Interpretation

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper aims to provide a systematic introduction to note-taking and its relation to interpreting. Based on the Cornell method of note-taking, this paper introduces the diagonal flow of ideas, and the use of margins in note-talung. As discussed in the paper, what the note-taker deals with is not the language but the message that is conveyed by that language. Therefore it is extremely important to realize that the note contains the idea of the speaker not the language, which is simply viewed as a tool to convey the message.
This paper introduces two types of tools in note taking: signs and abbreviations. Sign includes such symbols as are used in mathematics, chemistry, logic and others. It can be anything that provides natural association to the meaning. The use of signs can effective liberate the note-taker from the bondage of incoming language information so as to focus more on the message. Abbreviations, unlike signs, represent the language not the message. But they can be effectively employed when the note-taker is either pressed for time in coming up with a symbol or is dealing with Proper Nouns. The combination of signs and abbreviations, when the note-takers get used to them, is proved to be a very useful tool for successful interpretation.
Note-taking should not be rigid. Signs, and abbreviations as well for this matter, must be interpreted circumstantially. A symbol must be interpreted differently in different situations. Further, though it is basically true that note-taking skill is something that each interpreter has to develop on his own, this paper emphasizes the importance of sharing the signs and abbreviations for the student-interpreters. Shared symbols and abbreviations are a powerful tool to assist the partner in simultaneous interpretation.
