Models of Interpreting
Interpreting is a complex and unique activity whose social, cognitive, and linguistic features are not captured in any existing discipline.
Neurolinguistic and Cognitive Aspects of Interpreting
Interpreting looks at first sight like rapid language transfer, a kind of instant translation relying on exceptional linguistic proficiency, but there is direct and indirect evidence of abundant supporting cognitive activity.

Syntacrobatics
This study aimed, first, to test the widely held belief that meaning-based processing (‘deverbalisation’) results in better-quality simultaneous interpretation (SI), by the indirect method of correlating users’ quality judgments with linguistic reformulation and elaboration, and additionally, with transcript-based measures of accuracy, style and fluency. Twenty-four French SI-with-text versions of two English speeches by experts and novices were …

Back to Translation as Language
In this article, the six authors discuss the question of whether Translation Studies should devote more attention to the linguistic aspect of translation, in view of the tendency in recent years to focus on its social functioning. In the first part, each author tackles one or more aspects of this issue; in the second part, the authors respond to each other's views. Topics covered include what kind of language production translation is, whether tr…
Is Non-Intra-IE Interpretation Different
La théorie européenne de la traduction et de l'interprétation, nettement influencée par l'École de Paris, affirme l'universalité de certains principes comme le découpage du texte en unités de traduction et la traduisibilité de tout énoncé au-delà des langues et des cultures. Or, le cloisonnement entre les civilisations occidentale et orientale, les spécificités morphologiques et structurales des langues d'Orient et la non-homogénéité de leurs sta…
Simultaneous Interpretation
Simultaneous interpretation is among the most complex of human cognitive/linguistic activities. This study, which will interest practitioners and trainers as well as linguists, draws more on linguistics-based theories of cognition in communication (cognitive semantics and pragmatics) than on the traditional information-processing approaches of cognitive psychology, and shows SI to be a valuable source of data on language and cognition. Starting f…
Meaning assembly in simultaneous interpretation
Existing simultaneous interpretation (SI) process models lack an account of intermediate representation compatible with the cognitive and linguistic processes inferred from corpus descriptions or psycholinguistic experimentation. Comparison of SL and TL at critical points in synchronised transcripts of German-English and Chinese-English SI shows how interpreters use procedural and intentional clues in the input to overcome typological asymmetries…
