Simultaneous Interpretation
A cognitive-pragmatic analysis
Starting from semantic representations of input and output in samples of professional SI from Chinese and German into English, the analysis explains the classic phenomena anticipation, restoration of the implicit-explicit balance, and communicative re-packaging (re-ostension) of the discourse in terms of an intermediate cognitive model in working memory, allowing a more unitary view of resource management in the SI task. Relevance-theoretic analysis of the input discourse reveals rich pragmatic information guiding the construction of the appropriate contexts and the speakers underlying intentionalities. The course of meaning assembly is reconstructed in annotated synchronised transcripts.
