Muraija can help the intereter from Arabic as well as the interpreter into Arabic.

​

Interpreting into Arabic

Looking at the collocations range of relevant terms is likely to put them into short term memory, thus reducing the mental load when producing them.

​

Exercise for students of interpretations: Playing on the lenth to adjust the decalage. Transforming "verb + obj" to "MAKE + verbal noun + obj".

Interpreting from Arabic

Looking at the collocations range of relevent terms has two benefits:

• Anticipation: Which ideas are likely to be expressed?

• Prepraration: Can I intuitively express these ideas in my target language?

 

Preventing calques

This kind of preparation can help to reduce calques:

​

​

Looking at the entry "مَسؤُولِيَّة" and spending a couple of seconds realizing its two different meanings, that is حمّل مسؤولية vs: سلّم مسؤولية, is likely to prevent the interpretr from producing the calce "assign the responsability for the escalation" - she is likely to say "blame for the escalation".

​

​

Here, the translation should be "objective", or "goal", but not "desired goal" - unless the speaker is terribly slow. (In LAF, this kind of collocation is called clichee - where the collocate does not modify the meaning)
