Is machine interpreting interpreting
This article first considers the question whether machine translation is translation and moves on to address the analogous issue for interpreting. After a review of the development and state of the art in machine interpreting, more commonly referred to as ‘spoken language translation’ or ‘speech translation’, the question of whether machine interpreting is interpreting is discussed – first with regard to terminology and conceptual distinctions an…
Interpreting technologized
As an introduction to a selection of current research on the theme of interpreting and technology this article offers an overview of the technologization of interpreting in the course of the past century, with particular emphasis on developments during recent decades. The application of various types of technology in different professional domains and settings is discussed with reference to the main functions of technology: enabling service deliv…
Re-interpreting interpreting
In the face of newly emerging practices and shifting conceptual boundaries in translation and interpreting studies, the article engages with two recent theoretical proposals aiming at a reconceptualization of translation from the perspectives of semiotics and accessibility studies. The biosemiotic theory by Kobus Marais based on Peircean semiotics and Gian Maria Greco’s universalist conception of accessibility grounded in human rights are explore…
Studying indirect translation
Focused on key issues in researching indirect translation, this article presents a dialogue with and between three scholars from different branches of Translation Studies: news translation, interpreting and literary translation. The aim of this dialogue is to address fundamental questions concerning the history of indirect translation studies, the methodological challenges faced by researchers investigating this practice, and the impact of Englis…
Pioneering interpreting studies
On the occasion of her 80th birthday, this article highlights the pioneering contribution of Ingrid Kurz to the development of interpreting studies. Following a biographical sketch describing her professional and academic career over half a century, the most important themes of her research are reviewed under the headings of history, profession, psychology, training, quality, media, and fiction. An attempt is made to gauge the impact of her pione…
Relay interpreting
The unique features of interpreting as a situated process and performance to enable communication in real time make relay interpreting a particularly complex manifestation of indirect translation and a rich area of investigation. Even so, the great potential of relay interpreting as an object of inquiry in Translation and Interpreting Studies has remained largely untapped. This article seeks to map out the conceptual territory of relay interpreti…
Avaliação de Qualidade em Interpretações de Conferência e Comunitária
Partindo do pressuposto de que a interpretação pode e deve ser vista dentro de um espectro conceitual que vai das esferas de interação internacionais às intrassociais, e que os elevados padrões de qualidade devem ser garantidos em quaisquer dos seus domínios profissionais, o artigo apresenta o estado da arte dos Estudos da Interpretação em busca de ferramentas conceituais e metodológicas com vistas ao estudo empírico e à avaliação de qualidade. F…

Media interpreting
This chapter offers a thorough conceptual analysis of media interpreting as a form of audiovisual translation, with special reference to interpreting performed for broadcast mass media programs, especially on television. Based on criteria such as interpreting modes, language modality and communicative scenarios, a fourfold (proto)typology of media interpreting is proposed as a framework for the presentation of reception-oriented studies. Followin…
Remote Possibilities
Socio-Translational Collaboration in Qualitative Inquiry
In the face of long-standing neglect for issues of multilingualism in qualitative inquiry, this article proposes a novel collaborative approach to coping with translation issues in interviewing. Building on recent efforts at developing a better understanding of linguistic challenges to research methodology, the authors call for the systematic involvement of qualified interpreters and translators throughout the process of qualitative inquiry, and …

Assessing aptitude for interpreting
Based on a review of some of the most promising approaches to aptitude testing in the literature this paper proposes a novel task piloted at the Center for Translation Studies of the University of Vienna. The SynCloze test combines an auditory cloze exercise with a task requiring high expressional fluency, that is, rapidly finding contextually appropriate synonymic sentence completions. The rationale and design of the SynCloze test as well as the…
Simultaneous Consecutive Interpreting
The paper reports a small-scale experimental study to test the viability or even superiority of technology-assisted consecutive interpreting as a new working method for conference interpreters. In this technique, pioneered in 1999 by an EU staff interpreter, a digital voice recorder is used to record the original speech which the interpreter then plays back into earphones and renders in the simultaneous mode. The performances of three experienced…
Coping with Culture in Media Interpreting
Live broadcast simultaneous interpreting on television is widely acknowledged as one of the most challenging and stressful forms of screen translation, and translational activity in general. Aside from experience-based accounts by media interprets describing the specific working conditions and constraints in TV interpreting, the literature includes some interpreter and user surveys as well as case studies of physiological stress, but very few cor…
Interpreters and Ideology
Ideology was not an issue in the literature on interpreting until very recently. When the subject of ideology emerged in translation studies in the late 1990s, interpreting researchers were only just beginning to move beyond the traditional concern with (conference) interpreters' psycholinguistic processing skills and cognitive functions to include problems of cross-cultural interaction in their purview. This exploratory paper therefore reviews t…
From Operation to Action
The notion of 'process' is identified as a prominent idea in systematic reflection on interpreting, and various incarnations of the 'process(ing) supermeme' are reviewed. With reference to selected models of the interpreting process, the need for a broader concept of 'process' in interpreting research is discussed, with special reference to the (inter)action-theoretical approach championed by German translation scholars in the 1980s. Based on an …
Introducing Interpreting Studies
This book is the first of its type, designed to introduce students, researchers and practitioners to the relatively new, and now fast developing, discipline of Interpreting Studies.Written by a leading researcher in the field, the book covers international conference, court and hospital interpreting in both spoken and signed languages. The book begins by tracing the evolution of the field, reviewing influential concepts, models and methodological…
Quality Assessment in Conference and Community Interpreting
On the assumption that interpreting can and should be viewed within a conceptual spectrum from international to intra-social spheres of interaction, and that high standards of quality need to be ensured in any of its professional domains, the paper surveys the state of the art in interpreting studies in search of conceptual and methodological tools for the empirical study and assessment of quality. Based on a selective review of research approach…
Language Barriers in Vienna Hospitals
As part of a wider investigation of cross-cultural communication practices in health care and social service institutions of Vienna, a survey among hospital staff was conducted to establish the need for mediated communication between service providers and non-German-speaking patients. The responses of 508 doctors, nurses and therapists demonstrate a substantial need for interpreting services, which is currently met by family members (most often c…
Getting Organized
Based on a broad definition of the concept of community interpreting, the paper gives an overview of the development of community-based interpreting as a profession since the 1960s. Reviewing both the field of sign language interpreting and spoken-language community interpreting in the context of migration, major elements in the process of professionalization are described with reference to selected examples. The overall picture is one of great d…
Translation Studies: An Interdiscipline
A selection of 44 papers out of the 163 presented at the Translation Studies Congress, which was held in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Institut für Dolmetscher und Übersetzer Ausbildung in Vienna, shows how translation studies is moving away from purely linguistic analysis into LSP, psychology, cognition, and cultural orientations. The volume is divided into sections reflecting the focal subject areas at the Congress: Translation, hi…
