ABSTRACT

Conference interpreting is generally understood to be the communication of messages which have been delivered in one language into another at formal and informal conferences and conference-like settings in either the simultaneous or consecutive mode (cf. AIIC, 1984; Pöchhacker, 2013). Conference interpreting thus refers to the setting where different modes of interpreting are carried out to enable communication between interlocutors who do not speak the same language. These settings are typically international conferences, multilateral meetings, and workshops, but can also include official dinners, press conferences, parliamentary sessions and a wide range of other gatherings.
