Liaison Interpreting
The contribution describes the main features of “liaison interpreting,” as this practice has been described in the literature, using a range of relevant sources. After a preliminary distinction between conference and liaison interpreting, which is a more broadly defined modality of interpreting, the main fields in which liaison interpreting is requested are provided: in business settings; in meetings between a society's legal, medical, educationa…
A value-sensitive metadata schema for interpreting corpora
Interpreting corpora serve as the descriptive foundation of research and the ‘ground truth’ against which machine interpreting technologies are evaluated. However, access to corpora remains a critical bottleneck in interpreting studies due to data collection and processing challenges and the absence of interpreting- and translation-specific corpus publication venues. In this article, we present two technical infrastructures that facilitate corpus…
The effects of interpreting training on executive functions
Previous research has yielded conflicting evidence as regards the benefits of interpreting training on the development of cognitive processes involved in simultaneous interpreting. In this longitudinal study, we examined the changes in memory and inhibition profiles of two cohorts of interpreting students (study group) and two cohorts of translation students (control group) across three (cohort 1) or two measurement sessions (cohort 2) over their…
Du texte aux ressources multimodales
En règle générale, la linguistique de corpus repose sur des sources textuelles et vise l’analyse d’instances représentatives de la langue orale ou écrite. Toutefois, le rôle des ressources non verbales et multimodales y est crucial, car ces dernières contribuent considérablement aux processus de création de sens, tant dans le cas de la communication directe que dans celui de la communication médiée. Ce rôle est d’autant plus essentiel pour les ét…
Al di là delle denominazioni
The complexity of interpersonal and institutional relations in a mono-lingual context is further increased by the presence of interlocutors speaking different languages. Such instances require the intervention of professionals who make the interaction possible. The present paper starts with a brief critical overview of the definitions and professional settings of the linguistic and cultural mediator (LCM). This will be followed by the description…
Testing aptitude for interpreting
This longitudinal study on the predictive value of ‘simultaneous’ Italian-to-Italian oral paraphrasing as an aptitude test for interpreting was conducted on 64 conference interpreting students at the University of Bologna (Forlì). All students completed their course with Italian as their ‘A’ language, having passed the entrance examination (which included a paraphrase test, recorded for evaluation) during the period 2004–2006. Using paraphrase as…
Liaison Interpreting
Interpreting is a complex language transfer skill that enables speakers of different languages and cultural backgrounds to communicate orally during what are generally defined as interpreter‐mediated events (Alexieva, 1997). Within the framework of interpreting studies a distinction is made between conference interpreting and liaison interpreting.
Aptitude testing over the years
In the present paper I review the existing literature on aptitude testing with a view to highlighting the main emerging themes: which qualities indicate an aptitude in a prospective interpreter, how these qualities may be measured and which types of test should be administered, the issue of valid and reliable testing, proposals for test designs, and, finally, description of aptitude tests which have identified statistically significant predictors…
Studying Directionality in Simultaneous Interpreting through an Electronic Corpus
Parallel corpora have long been awaited in simultaneous interpreting studies in order to validate existing theories and models. The present paper illustrates the development of the European Parliament Interpreting Corpus (EPIC), an open, parallel, multilingual (English, Italian and Spanish), POS-tagged corpus of European Parliament source speeches and simultaneously-interpreted target speeches. The aim of the project is to study recurrent lexical…
Simultaneous film interpreting and users’ feedback
Simultaneous film interpreting is a mode of screen language transfer often required of professional interpreters in Italy for international film festivals. The paper briefly discusses similarities and dissimilarities between film interpreting and conference interpreting, subtitling and dubbing. It focuses on interpreting quality evaluation, discussing results of questionnaires distributed to users watching films interpreted by professionals and s…
Aptitude to Interpreting
This article presents the first results of a longitudinal study involving a sample of 46 students of the SSLMIT of Trieste. The study aims at developing an aptitude test for candidates to Conference Interpreting courses at university level. The test is based on an exercise of simultaneous paraphrasing. The linguistic analysis of the performances at syntactic, semantic and pragmatic levels has shown statistically significant correlations between t…
