Abstract/Résumé

Cet article porte sur la technique de prise de notes lors de l’interprétation consécutive tout en abordant les objectifs du cours de prise de notes, qui ne se limite pas simplement à faire connaître des symboles et des abréviations. Cette discussion est suivie d’une présentation et d'une comparaison des systèmes de prise de notes de Rozan (1956) et de Matyssek (1989) et de leurs principes généraux, afin de démontrer que ces deux écoles « classiques » ont nombre de points communs bien qu'elles soient fréquemment considérées comme étant très différentes.
