Abstract Manual co-speech gestures can facilitate language comprehension, but do they influence comprehension in simultaneous interpreters, and if so, is this modulated by interpreting (SI) and/or experience? In a picture-matching task, 24 professional interpreters translators were exposed to utterances accompanied semantically matching representational gestures, unrelated pragmatic or no while...

Tcl is not thread-safe. If two or more threads attempt to use Tcl at the same time, internal data structures can be corrupted and the program can crash. This is true even if the threads are using separate Tcl interpreters. PtTcl is a modi cation to the Tcl core that makes Tcl safe to use with POSIX threads. With PtTcl, each thread can create and use its own Tcl interpreters that will not interf...

A novel approach to the veriication of meta-interpreters is introduced. We apply a general purpose veriication method for logic programs, proposed in 28], to the case study of the Vanilla and other logic meta-interpreters. We extend the standard notion of declarative correctness, and design a criterion for proving correctness of meta-interpreters in a general sense, including amalgamated and re...

This study aimed to explore non-verbal executive processes in simultaneous interpreters. Simultaneous interpreters, bilinguals without any training in simultaneous interpreting, and control monolinguals performed the Wisconsin card sorting task (WCST; Experiment 1) and the Simon task (Experiment 2). Performance on WCST was thought to index cognitive flexibility while Simon task performance was ...

Interpreters are widely used in domain-specific, dynamic, and scripting languages. While their implementation is relatively simple, their performance is poor. In this thesis we improve the performance of interpreters using dynamic optimization techniques. This task is challenging because the information regarding the interpreted program is not known until the interpreter is run. Efficient imple...

In both “Answering for Sense” and “Sharing Voices,” Jean-Luc Nancy offers an account of the poet as interpreter gods. The voice in Homer’s Iliad Plato’s Ion is intrinsically originally doubled. Although there no divine outside poet’s voice, speaks poetic gives a to that goddess or muse. What exactly at stake this phenomenon we encounter here poet, namely gods making us speak? How it related thr...

When interpreting takes place in a videoconference setting, the intrinsic technological challenges and the very remoteness of the interpreters’ location compound the complexity of the task. Existing research on remote interpreting and the problems it entails focusses on remote conference interpreting, in which the interpreters are physically separated from the conference site while the primary ...
