Resumen: This paper is a fieldwork study framed in the community interpreting branch of Translation and Interpreting Studies, a current dealing with mediated interactions in Public Services. In accordance with the scope of this discipline, the following pages focus on highlighting the importance of pragmatic theories in an interlinguistic, triangular communication occurring within mental health consultations. The fundamental idea is to combine some of the most relevant pragmatic principles in order to establish an ideal communicative frame we can subsequently contrast with the reality of interlinguistic interactions in mental health settings. In consequence, the first part of the paper seeks to portray the importance of Pragmalinguistics in this context by providing a theoretical frame which is also used as the base for formulating certain questions that arise due to its implications for the interpreting process. These issues are the pillars for two brief questionnaires: the first one is addressed both to novice and experienced interpreters whereas the second set of questions was distributed among mental health professionals. The analysis of the survey results seeks to achieve three main objectives: i) to determine agreement and disagreement points between both parties; ii) to combine their opinions with the aforementioned theoretical bases in order to establish certain guidelines and solutions that may improve communication; iii) to define the interpreter's role within our field of study.

Resumen: Después de presentar las características de la producción de los textos meta en interpretación simultánea y consecutiva, se ofrece, en este artículo, una sinopsis de los estudios relacionados con los parámetros vocales manifestados en los textos meta simultáneamente interpretados. Se hará también referencia a aspectos fonológicos y metodológicos para, finalmente, extraer conclusiones no sólo para la didáctica de la interpretación y la vida profesional sino también para la investigación.

Resumen: The interpreter-mediated communication is always an instance of intercultural communication. The interpreter therefore should shift to be the cultural mediator rather than the interpreter in the interaction. This article attempts to extend the theoretical focus in interpreting studies to cultural orientations, contexting, thus laying down a theoretical framework to address the 'role shift' of the interpreter, for instance, why an interpreter should act as a cultural mediator, where he should step in, what and how he can fulfill his role as a cultural mediator.

Resumen: The term strategy is increasingly mentioned in the interpreting literature. Individual strategies have been approached from various perspectives by a number of interpreting research scholars. Those strategies are used by interpreters to cope with cognitive constraints, interpreting mode-specific difficulties, and language- and culture-specific constraints. Given its importance, the author argues to include strategy training in interpreter education based on a synthesis of evidence from the current literature. This article firstly presents a state-of-theart review of research on the defining features of strategies and their varieties. It then validates the contribution of strategy training to interpreter education in terms of overcoming cognitive constraints, combating interpreting mode-specific constraints, coping with language- and culture-specific constraints, conforming to interpreting norms, revealing problem-solution relations in the interpreting process, highlighting novice-expert differences for pedagogical use, and leading to interpreter competence development. The article also provides a brief demonstration of how to teach strategies to trainees. Hopefully, this article can inspire interpreter trainers to recognize the importance of strategies and include strategy training in their teaching.

Resumen: This article seeks to describe the current scenario of parliamentary interpreting in Malaysia by studying the interpreters' work nature, aptitude and qualifications as well as remuneration and promotional opportunity. It also highlights the important aspects of the profession such as job mystification, training and continuing education, the connection between the training centres and the professional environment, the need to educate the public through the establishment of professional associations, and the implementation of an ethics code as well as the sense of professionalism among the interpreters. The author also proposes ways to improve the situation which would contribute to the professionalisation of interpreting in the Malaysian Parliament particularly and in Malaysia in general.

Resumen: À la différence de ce qui se passe en interprétation de conférence, l’interprétation en service public redistribue, par la simple présence physique des intervenants, les relations entre textes-source/textes-cible, entre messages émis/messages reçus, entre chacun des niveaux de la communication eux-mêmes. Ici, l’interprète est présent : on le voit, on l’entend et l’on guette les signaux non verbaux qu’il produit ou reproduit. C’est par l’intermédiaire de son corps, de son visage et de leurs expressions que s’établissent, de manière consciente ou inconsciente, les premiers degrés de la compréhension.

Resumen: How do we use emotional intelligence, and why does it matter? Diana Singureanu reports on her research into this area and its implications for interpreters.

Resumen: High-level political interpreting in China is a specialized interpretation with distinct principles and requirements and among them the interpreter's political awareness plays a critical role. In this article, the political awareness is investigated through a detailed examination of the interpreter's experiential meaning transfer using former Chinese Premier Zhu's debut press conference in 1998 as a case study. The study then identifies three types of political awareness-manipulated strategies employed by the interpreter at the conference: (a) the addition of experiential meaning to express political standpoint; (b) the omission of experiential meaning to eliminate potential negative political effects; (c) the correction of inaccurate experiential meaning to avoid political misunderstanding. Lastly, implications are drawn with reference to field as one of the contextual variables and the social institutional context. The article argues that political awareness on the part of the political and diplomatic interpreter in China is a paramount interpreting competence, that effective interpretation of the Chinese state leader's speeches depends upon the interpreter's high level of political awareness, and that such awareness is determined by the source text's relevant field and Chinese specific social institutional context.

Resumen: La necesidad del ser humano de comunicarse, la sensación de vivir en un modo cada vez más uniforme y la existencia de vías de comunicación cada vez más eficaces y rápidas impide con frecuencia ver otras realidades cercanas en las que la comunicación no es tan fácil ni tan efectiva ni cuenta con las mismas herramientas para llevarlas a cabo. El área de la Traducción e interpretación en los Servicios Públicos, o Interpretación para la Comunidad como lo denomina la autora del libro. Esta investigación esta coordinada por el grupo de investigación FITSPos (Formación e Investigación en Traducción e Interpretación en los Servicios Públicos), grupo dedicado a investigar y dar soluciones a la problemática de la problemática de la comunicación en sociedades multiculturales.

Resumen: Simultaneous interpreting (SI) is a highly complex cognitive process which aims to deliver a complete and accurate rendition of the original message in real time. However, there is a myriad of factors that can influence the process, speed being one of the factors most frequently put forward by practising interpreters as a major challenge. Against this background, we, who are professional interpreters at the United Nations and in the private market, and have observed that speed has become an increasingly present challenge in our work, have carried out an experimental study with the aim of elucidating one of the strategies that expert interpreters resort to when confronted with different speed rates, namely the omission of redundant information. Ten professional interpreters from the United Nations were asked to simultaneously interpret three speeches, which were written to be read and were of similar lexical density, at different speeds. The findings indicate that at higher speeds interpreters omit more redundant information, and it would appear that omission is a strategy the interpreter resorts to for coping with speed.

Resumen: Recent research on liaison interpreting shows that the interpreters' role in communicative events includes language facilitator and intercultural mediator. Being empowered with more coordinating functions rather than regarded as invisible conduits, however, how do interpreters with different professional experiences perceive their own role in business settings? And what are the actual expectations on them from their clients? This paper tries to answer the questions through a questionnaire-based survey of three groups of respondents: professional interpreters, student interpreters and clients, with each group including 30 respondents. Chesterman's (2001) four models of ethics, together with the hypothetical no ethics model, were designed as answers to the questionnaire (17 closed questions) and translation versions to two interpreting samples. The frequencies of responses to the questions and the evaluation scores of the translation versions are collected and analyzed, revealing the following findings: All three groups acknowledge the constraints translation ethics place on the freedom of action; and all three groups agree that interpreters simultaneously shoulder the tasks of translating and coordinating, with the "ethics of communication" being the most widely acknowledged one. However, there are discrepancies between and within the groups, and even attitudinal inconsistencies and contradictions in individual participants. These findings, by re-describing the interpreter's power in interlingual and intercultural interactions, will help improve professional standards and interpreting training.
