| Research Abstract |
This research aims to clarify the process of human communication through nota-taking in a consecutive interpreting. To investigate of this, the research first discussed a theoretical framework with reference to the cooperation model. Then it conducted the consecutive interpreting experiment to show whether the way and content of notation have some roles, or not. Nine practitioners participated in it, and the material was three minute's interview. With scrutiny of data, the result showed they notate minimal proposition using abbreviations and symbols gained from their practical experiences, and notation consisted logically. Based on this, they not only produced explicatures through pragmatic heuristic and pragmatic processes, including disambiguation, ad-hoc concept construction, saturation, and free-enrichment, but also delivered implicatures. In sum, the notation could partially visualize mental representations produced at the process of a human commutation.
