Programming language semantics based on pure rewrite rules suffers from the gap between the rewriting strategy implemented in rewriting engines and the intended evaluation strategy. This paper shows how programmable rewriting strategies can be used to implement interpreters for programming languages based on rewrite rules. The advantage of this approach is that reduction rules are first class e...

In this paper, we build an interpreter by reusing host language functions instead of recoding mechanisms of function application that are already available in the host language (the language which is used to build the interpreter). In order to transform user-defined functions into host language functions we use combinatory logic : λ-abstractions are transformed into a composition of combinators...

Professional interpreters’ visibility in the European context has been widely discussed field of community interpreting, but untrained ad hoc interpreters non-European contexts such as China received little academic attention. By adopting concept “text ownership” proposed by Angelelli (2004a), this study examines Chinese manifestations an authentic medical setting. Based on observations, audio ...

This article presents the use of well-known instant messaging apps in conventional conference interpreting situations, as a tool to enhance real-time communication between team interpreters, thereby improving coordination before, during and after an assignment, enabling interpreters present highly professional image event organizers delegates.

The study investigates term extraction methods using comparable corpora for interpreters. Simultaneous interpreting requires efficient use of highly specialised domain-specific terminology in the working languages of an interpreter with limited time to prepare for new topics. We evaluate several terminology extraction methods for Chinese and English using settings which replicate real-life scen...

Software support for making effective pen-based applications is currently rudimentary. To facilitate the creation of such applications, we have developed SATIN, a Java-based toolkit designed to support the creation of applications that leverage the informal nature of pens. This support includes a scenegraph for manipulating and rendering objects; support for zooming and rotating objects, switch...

This paper examines the usability of Zoom platform from perspective professional conference interpreters. In aftermath lockdowns and travel restrictions during Covid-19 pandemic, Remote Simultaneous Interpreting (RSI) rushed into lives interpreters despite historical resistance. gave rise to development several Delivery Platforms (SIDPs). They have in time become new offices practicing interpre...
