"Lost in Interpretation" - Redundancy and Forward Inferencing in Simultaneous Interpreting (SI)
KRATOCHVÍLOVÁ, Nela
The bachelor's thesis focuses on the process of simultaneous interpreting (SI). It addresses the issues an interpreter has to tackle in order to transfer the message from the source language to the target language accurately. It specifically examines omissions and inclusions made by the interpreter and the impact these may have on the communication at hand. The departure point for my thesis is the work of Chernov (1994) in particular, his concept of redundancy as a key factor in SI comprehension as well as his emphasis on the psychological process of 'probability' anticipation (forward inferencing). I collected and analysed a set of interpreted texts in order to demonstrate the applicability of Chernov's theory to simultaneous interpretation from English to Czech. A number of practicing interpreters was interviewed in order to triangulate my analysis against their perspectives and experience in the field.
