Research subject Interpreting
Interpreting between different languages takes place in a variety of different contexts. This means that interpreting scholars gather their empirical data from various areas of society, e.g. from the domains of education, healthcare, and law, or from the organisations of the EU.
In addition to linguistics, interpreting research borrows and develops theories and methods from sociology, anthropology, didactics, psychology and cognitive science. Interpreting research provides knowledge on interpreting as translation between two languages, and also as specific forms of communication between people.
Interpreting research can be based on the interpreting individuals, their output, cognitive operations etc. Research can also be based on the social and cultural contexts where interpreting takes place, to explain how communication is affected by the fact that the participants speak different languages via a third person.
Research orientations within interpreting
Within interpreting, we mainly research Children and interpreting, Cognitive aspects of interpreting, Speech-to-text interpreting, Interpreter-mediated interaction and Interpreter training.
