| Abstract | ||
| The task of determining the factors that affect simultaneous interpreter's performance is rather difficult. By comparison with other fields on cognitive psychology, reported research on simultaneous interpretation (SI) is scarce. Perhaps the recent advent of this discipline is largely to blame, but also the complexity of the mental processes involved in SI has been a deterrent to researchers. It is not straight forward to design controlled experiments for the study of the cognitive processes concomitant with speech. It is doubly difficult to design such experiments for the study of simultaneous perception and production of speech in two different languages and the factors that affect the successful achievement of both. Because of the scantiness of researchers on SI, this paper is organized around three topics: Defining SI, stating the parameters of SI, and how speech delivery rates (SDRs) as one of the parameters affects simultaneous interpreter's performance. It is worth noting that performance here is not used as a part of Chomsky's well-known dichotomies, but refers to the way interpreters act in real situations. | ||
