| dc.description.abstract | Conference interpreting deals exclusively with oral communication: rendering a message
from one language into another, naturally and fluently, adopting the delivery, tone and
convictions of the speaker and speaking in the first person. This is very demanding
depending on the speaker and the language in use. The difficulties are not the same for
example when one is interpreting into the first language as to when interpreting into the
second language. It may get more complex if the speaker uses embedded structures such as
idiomatic expressions or phrasal verbs in the speech. This study aims at establishing the
extent to which embedded structures such as idiomatic expressions pose a challenge to
interpreters and how this challenge may be handled. | en_US |
