For instance, Gonzruez et al . ( 199 1 ) and O'Tool ( 1994a) have observed that prosodic elements and paralinguistic features are fre­ quently left uninterpreted, and that a witness 's testimony suffers accordingly . Shlesinger ( 1991 ) similarly reports a general tendency on the part of court interpreters to ' grammaticize' ungrammatical utterances and observes that 'the overriding tendency of the interpreter to delete a false start may in fact lead to the omission of a self-correction which, it would seem, was expressly intentional ' (ibid.: 150).
