“…As cited in Vandepitte (2005), Lederer introduces different types of anticipation. Firstly, she recognizes "anticipations based on language prediction" (which have later been referred to as linguistic anticipation) on the one hand, and "anticipations based on sense expectation" (which have later been called extra linguistic anticipation).…”

Interpreting is an ancient human practice which clearly predates the invention of writing and translation. Interpreting has existed for a long time. Whenever people met other people who had no common language they had to make do with sing language or find someo ne who speak both languages (Pochhacker, 2004) . Interpreting is a form of translation in which a first and final rendition in another language is produced on the basis of a one-time presentation of an utterance in a source language (ibid). This paper is intended to provide some crucial features presented in interpreting; the quality of which directly affect the quality of interpreting.

“…Rhetorical moves, defined as «largely predictable functional components in a text» (Danni, 2020, p. 3), represent a potentially fruitful avenue to explore in simultaneous interpreting training since prediction, or anticipation as interpreting strategy is often discussed in literature (cf. Van Besien, 1999;Vandepitte, 2001). While recent empirical findings are inconclusive that anticipation is particularly prolific in some settings (Dayter, 2020), the role of context in interpreting should not be underestimated (Chmiel, 2021).…”

This article describes a corpus-based approach to specialized interpreter training, advocating for the compilation and use of ad hoc corpora to support trainers when developing training materials for specific domains. To do so, this article presents a case study to illustrate the utility and the subsequent analysis of an ad hoc corpus for specialized interpreting training, which is conceived of as a complement to current training practices for diplomatic interpreting. A specialized German language corpus of embassy speeches and interviews was compiled based on freely-available data and subsequently analyzed to identify genre- and domain-specific features of these types of addresses. By identifying discourse, text type, and specific terminology and expressions, trainers can develop domain- and genre-specific materials for training that align with the types of discourse that are likely to be encountered when working in these specialized domains. These materials can be used as part of courses in addition to self-study. This corpus-based approach to materials development can complement current training practices for specialized interpreting and enable authentic materials to be integrated into the interpreting classroom.

“…The underlying rationale is that cognitive processes and strategy use in SI leave traces in interpreted texts, and therefore can be detected (Ivanova, 2000;. Text analysis has been widely used by researchers to identify individual strategies of particular interest (e.g., Vandepitte, 2001;Petite, 2005) and to explore all possible strategies (e.g., . The other method is called immediate retrospection (Ericsson & Simon, 1980.…”

Interpreter certification performance testing (ICPT) has developed rapidly over the past decade.Yet there has been very limited discussion and systematic research conducted to enhance reliability and validity of high-stakes interpreter certification performance tests (ICPTs). This interdisciplinary mixed-methods research was therefore initiated to build theoretical and methodological foundations for rater-mediated ICPTs, with a special focus on test validation, construct definition, and rater/score reliability for English/Chinese ICPTs in China.Presented in a thesis-by-publication format, the research follows a multi-phase mixed-methods research (MMR) design, in which research results from a previous study inform and build to a subsequent study. Chapter 1 Introduction… developing a valid and reliable test for translation and interpreting is of paramount importance. Both academe and the industry would benefit enormously from making accurate and sound decisions on translation ability and quality based on meaningful testing.
