“…Those factors can be defined as "individual personality traits" (Arnold & Brown, 1999: 8) which manifest themselves in a variety of interpreter's emotions, feelings, thoughts and attitudes. Several studies (e.g., Kurz, 2013;Korpal, 2017;Walczyński, 2019) of psycho-affective factors experienced by interpreters have provided ample evidence to suggest that, during their work, interpreters, like all other people, are affected by the activity of those psycho-affective variables and that is why the stereotypical concept of an interpreter as a "transparent", emotionally uninvolved "voice" of interpreting act participants is merely an idealisation which-in real life-is hardly attainable.…”

“…The investigation of Polish-English certified interpreters' experience of anxiety is just a small fragment of a large-scale (mostly qualitative) study on the psycho-affective factors in consecutive interpreting (Walczyński, 2019). However, the discussion in this paper is narrowed down to the study participants' views of their experience of anxiety ensuing in connection with certified 2 Translated from Polish by the author.…”

“…What can nowadays be observed in interpreting studies is its greater orientation towards multidisciplinarity, understood as transferring methodological concepts and research methods from other disciplines and exploiting them for the needs of investigating interpreting phenomena. One of the areas from which interpreting scholars have been borrowing theoretical and methodological frameworks is psychology, thereby contributing to the development of the field of interpreting studies which may be known as interpreter psychology (Walczyński, 2019). This area of scholarship offers the methodological frameworks for exploring a variety of psychological aspects of the interpreting process.…”

“…Since this paper is based on the data collected in the course of a large-scale research project discussed at greater length inWalczyński (2019), the exemplification of certain phenomena and trends (i.e., the certified interpreters' quotes) was borrowed from the above-mentioned source(Walczyński, 2019: 473-482). However, thanks to the reviewers' insightful comments, some quotes were translated from Polish once again to make them more understandable.…”

The paper presents a study of the psycho-affective factor of anxiety experienced by Polish-English certified interpreters while performing certified consecutive interpreting. The first part of the article sketches the theoretical background of the study, by focusing on interpreter psychology, a subfield of interpreting studies offering the methodological scaffolding for the study of interpreting-related psychological phenomena, and on anxiety as one of the components of the interpreter’s psycho-affectivity. What follows is an overview of certified interpreting in the Polish context. The major part of the article provides an insight into the study of the certified interpreters’ experience of anxiety—its types, causes, linguistic and extra-linguistic manifestations. What emerges from the study is that anxiety is quite a potent psycho-affective factor which is likely to obstruct certified interpreting performance and lower the quality of its outcome—the oral output.

“…For purposes of brevity and functionality, we have opted for a briefer literature review on emotion and translation practices. For more detailed reviews of the current literature, seeHsieh & Nicodemus (2015),Hubscher-Davidson (2017),Walczyński (2019),Perdikaki and Georgiou (2020).…”

This paper discusses the emotions experienced by subtitlers who subtitle sensitive audiovisual material. “Sensitive audiovisual material” refers to audiovisual texts which deal with controversial and emotive topics, such as abuse, war, torture. This topic has remained under-researched in subtitling, despite having been sporadically explored in other fields of translation (Hubscher-Davidson, 2017; Rojo and Ramos Caro, 2016; Tabakowska, 2016). The data presented in this paper expand upon and complement the findings discussed in Perdikaki and Georgiou (2020) based on an online survey completed by 170 subtitlers. For the current paper, the data discussed come from an online focus group with three professional subtitlers and face-to-face interviews with one freelance subtitler as well as a team interview with two in-house quality control editors. Having confirmed in our previous study that many subtitlers are affected by the sensitive AV material they subtitle, this paper aims at a more nuanced exploration of how subtitlers regulate emotions elicited on-the-job, offering specific examples as well as emotion management techniques. Finally, the perspective of emotional responsiveness, depending on socio-economic contexts as well as the linguistic arsenal of the subtitler, is briefly discussed.
