Abstract
This article aims to demonstrate that there is a significant correlation between the cognitive/affective factors and the process of interpreting. The aim of this investigation is to establish a psycholinguistic profile of the interpreter. In order to do this, the authors describe and explain the different parameters that determine the interpreting process and their bonds with, what is to be, the psycholinguistic profile of the interpreter.
