Interpreter traits and the relationship with technology and visibility
Christopher D. Mellinger | University of North Carolina at Charlotte

Research on technology and interpreting regularly investigates technology-mediated interpreting settings and contrasts various
interpreting configurations to better understand how technology changes the interpreting task. This scholarship generally does not
account for various personality or character attributes exhibited by interpreters, nor does it examine the actual adoption and
usage of these tools. This article presents findings from a survey-based study that examines several interpreter-specific
constructs, namely their self-perception of the interpreter’s role and communication apprehension, in conjunction with attitudes
toward technology use and adoption. Findings suggest that community interpreters differ from their conference interpreting
counterparts and that domain-specific differences emerge between medical and court interpreters with respect to their perceived
role and their propensity to adopt new technologies.
Keywords: communication apprehension, community interpreting, technology adoption, technology use, visibility
