This article tries to shed light on hemispheric preference of interpreters on task by combining a neuropsychological approach to the study of the interpreting process with analytical approaches to discourse analysis and text comprehension. A detailed propositional analysis of interpreters' output, including a categorization of text-type, combined with experimental data from hemispheric preference research of interpreters on task revealed that text structure influenced hemispheric preference.
