Abstract
Abstract
Research into dialogue interpreting has thus far focused on its
interactional dimension. Only recently have cognitive approaches been
introduced. This article uses the situated cognition and functional pragmatics
paradigms to explain how a broad and holistic understanding of the (healthcare)
set-up in which dialogue interpreting assignments take place enables
interpreters to develop an awareness of the purpose-orientation of medical
professionals’ (inter)action plan. This understanding forms part of an
inferential mental backdrop that allows interpreters to go from bottom-up
drifting to gaining top-down control over their task. On the basis of a corpus
of 19 interpreter-mediated doctor-patient encounters, the article suggests that
it is acting upon an integral background of understanding as inferential basis
(rather than role) that empowers dialogue interpreters to perform
successfully.
