A starting point for a multimodal analysis of interpreter-mediated interaction is the discussion on the pros and cons of new technologies especially for new forms of distant, remote or offsite interpreting. More specifically, in this contribution is argued that empirical multimodal analyses of… read more
The aim of this article is to explore how affiliation (Stivers 2008) with the patient is displayed and interactionally achieved in the context of an interpreter-mediated therapeutic dialogue. More specifically, we focus on the interplay between affiliative listener responses – especially head… read more
In this chapter, we discuss a novel method for the analysis of mobile eye-tracking data in natural environments. Mobile eye-tracking systems generate large amounts of continuous data, making manual analysis extremely time-consuming. Available solutions provided by commercially available… read more
This paper contributes to the growing line of research that takes a multimodal approach in the study of interpreter-mediated dialogues. Drawing on insights from Conversation Analysis and multimodal analysis, we investigate how extended multi-unit turns unfold with interventions of an interpreter… read more
This chapter discusses the findings of a study that used mobile eye-tracking in the context of a naturally occurring interpreter-mediated dialogue. This type of interaction is particularly interesting for the study of gaze and other (non-) verbal resources, as the primary interlocutors have no or… read more
