Much ado about something remote
The article describes the aims, methods, conclusions and recommendations of a large-scale experimental study designed to evaluate the feasibility and implications of the use of remote interpreting (RI) in the European Parliament and other large multilingual settings, where the introduction of a growing number of languages requires the extension of existing arrangements. While the study reveals a relatively small impact on either the quality of th…
The silver lining
In an attempt to offset the negative effects of reduced contact hours, teachers of interpreting are encouraged to take advantage of cost-effective methods, including technology-assisted self-study sessions and offline practice. This paper describes the use of new pedagogical tools and equipment (ultra-modern labs, innovative software packages) to support the teaching of (mostly consecutive) interpreting at the Copenhagen Business School. We repor…
Sociocultural aspects of translating and interpreting
Comparing Modalities
Because interpreting affords only limited opportunity for restatement or corrections, it can be seen as the practitioner's default version, with written translation representing a more polished rendition. Thus, a comparison of the target texts of interpreting and translation can shed light not only on the differences between the two modalities as such, but on the processes involved in each of the two as well. In this case, target texts from inter…
Corpus-based Interpreting Studies as an Offshoot of Corpus-based Translation Studies
This article looks at the problems and benefits that may arise from applying a corpus- based methodology to the study of interpreting. It explores two ways in which interpreting could be fruitfully investigated with the aid of corpora. The first is direct and involves the design of new types of parallel and comparable corpora. The second consists of employing existing monolingual corpora to extract material that can be used in experimental resear…

Information processing and a computational approach to the study of simultaneous interpretation
We begin by describing some challenges to psychological inquiry and to the understanding of simultaneous interpretation. We then articulate the computational and hypothesis-testing approach to inquiry, and illustrate a general information-processing model. We discuss some experimental and theoretical studies of language processing carried out within the information-processing approach. We analyze not only behavioral measures of language processin…
The proposed role of suppression in simultaneous interpretation
In this paper we suggest that the cognitive mechanism of suppression attenuates interference in many language comprehension phenomena, and is particularly crucial when comprehension must share processing capacity with other cognitive tasks, as is manifestly the case in simultaneous interpreting. During lexical access, the mechanism of suppression attenuates the interference caused by the activation of other lexical information, such as the inappr…
