Yet training often relies on slow, standardized speech that encourages a narrow focus on semantic decoding and leaves students underprepared for the turbulence of real-life language use. Drawing on phenomenological accounts of language and mindfulness-based body–mind training, this chapter proposes an embodied pedagogy of listening centered on the preverbal stages of speech perception. Through short mindfulness practices and an adaptation of the Jean Georges Ernst Method, students learn to attune to rhythm, timbre and acoustic texture before moving to lexical and propositional meaning. The aim is to loosen the tightrope of idealized input and help future interpreters ride the waves of spoken variation, reclaiming human listening as a core professional competence in an age of AI-mediated language processing.

Castillo Ortiz, Pedro Jesús (traductor) https://hdl.handle.net/10481/111725 Terminology Faber Benítez, Pamela Blanchar; Montero Martínez, Silvia Terminology is the study of specialized concepts and their linguistic designations or terms. These specialized knowledge units are the result of the development of cognitive processes and communication among experts of a special language community (Sager 1997, 25). Terminology work focuses on the description of domain-specific knowledge structures and how they are transmitted in different communicative contexts. It also involves the organization and recording of the meaning and usage of terms in terminological resources such as term bases, dictionaries and glossaries, which can be used for text decoding as well as for text generation. https://hdl.handle.net/10481/111723 Key Concepts for Cultural Communication in the Workplace Castillo Ortiz, Pedro Jesús; Strani, Katerina; Nic Craith, M.; Scheuring, Florian Starting with a preliminary consideration of culture, communication, and the workplace in a global context, we examine how culture and communication are intrinsic to our understandings of the workplace, and provide core examples of how the workplace can be analysed both as a culture and as a communicative practice. We revisit established models with critical intent and emphasise the need to move beyond Anglo-Saxon understandings and frameworks. Overall, we provide a critical theoretical framework around culture and communication for the volume’s discussion on interculturality in contemporary workplaces, leaving leadership and trust for a more focused consideration in subsequent chapters. https://hdl.handle.net/10481/111722 Translation and Interpretation in Cross-Cultural Business Workplace Practices Castillo Ortiz, Pedro Jesús; Napier, Jemina; Liao, M. H.; Newill, Kester International business is conducted in multilingual environments, necessitating a variety of translating and interpreting (T&I) activities. It is crucial that companies planning to successfully expand into a different linguistic community consider the relationship between language and culture because the costs of making mistakes can be high. We have all heard anecdotes about how poorly translated brand names or company slogans have caused unintended offence or hilarity in the target market. In this chapter, we are going to learn about what T&I is, different types of T&I activities, and how they play a significant role in the business context. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023
