Introduction

Definition of Sight Interpreting Sight interpreting is a hybrid form of interpreting where a written source text is turned into an oral or signed target text in real-time. Explanation of its Hybrid Nature It involves converting written text to oral/signed form without the luxury of time for thorough reading.

Terminology

Comparison: Sight Translation vs Sight Interpreting

Historical Perspective Sight interpreting has been considered a form of simultaneous interpreting, highlighting its dynamic nature.

While often termed as sight translation, it's more accurately sight interpreting due to its real-time processing nature.

Settings and Work Situations

Examples Bilateral meetings, press reports, courtroom interpreting, police and asylum settings, healthcare interpreting, media interpreting.

Overview of Settings Sight interpreting is encountered in various settings including meetings, press conferences, and community-based institutions.

Cognitive Processing

Advantages

Challenges

High cognitive demands due to continuous exposure to the written text increase the risk of interference.

Control over pace allows interpreters to manage delivery effectively.

Expectations

Interpreters are expected to deliver naturally, maintaining eye contact without unnecessary corrections.

Role in Interpreter Education

Training

Benefits

Aptitude Testing

It's integrated into interpreter pedagogy, enhancing speed and preparing interpreters for simultaneous interpreting.

Helps in developing non-linear text navigation skills and identifying core information.

Sight interpreting is used in aptitude testing to assess candidates' ability to grasp and render text meaningfully.

Research and Studies

Overview of Research Interest

Limited research on sight interpreting, focusing on information processing and output-related constraints.

Examples of Studies

Jiménez Ivars' descriptive analysis, Dragsted and Gorm Hansen's experimental study on differences in behavior.

Recent Research Trends

Recent focus on sight translation within the framework of translation process research.

Analysis of temporal variables and translational approach, eye tracking studies on cognitive effort and visual interference.
