SPA interpretación consecutiva |
origins
Consecutive interpreting, in its broadest sense, refers to a set of working modes in interpreting where source-speech reception and target-speech production take place in two successive stages. These practices originated thousands of years ago, but the term consecutive only became necessary after the emergence of simultaneous interpreting in conference settings.
other names
Classic consecutive and long consecutive are sometimes used to distinguish the prototypical type of consecutive interpreting in conference settings—which involve the rendition of several minutes of uninterrupted discourse with the help of systematic note-taking—from short consecutive in dialogue and bidirectional settings, which is often done without notes.
abstract
Consecutive interpreting, in a broad sense, refers to the mode of interpreting where source-speech reception and target-speech production take place in two “consecutive” stages. In a narrower sense, consecutive interpreting is considered a subtype of conference interpreting, which often involves systematic note-taking. Consecutive interpreting in international conference settings witnessed the beginning of the professionalization of interpreting, which is marked by the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, where interpreters were recruited for the negotiations. The current demand for consecutive interpreting varies in different regions, from the small assignment percentages in Europe to higher demands in the Asia-Pacific region. Consecutive interpreting is often preferred when flexibility, cost, or confidentiality issues outweigh other concerns, such as time and efficiency. A large share of the literature on consecutive interpreting is devoted to the teaching and training of interpreters, while empirical data collected on the consecutive mode is relatively limited—especially when compared to the simultaneous mode. Important topics of research on consecutive interpreting include note-taking, quality, cognitive aspects and, more recently, interpreting technology.
