Abstract Interpreters are hypothesized to anticipate the source language (SL) in comprehension and target (TL) production facilitate timely delivery. In two experiments, we examined whether interpreters make more predictions SL consecutive interpreting than regular such enhanced prediction (if any) is constrained by cognitive resources. Participants were quicker at reading a predictable versus ...

This paper discusses the phenomena involved in natural language generation planning and argues that a blackboard-type architecture with agenda-style control is more appropriate for this task than a sequenti...
