Research in simultaneous interpreting

• Diriker, Ebru

Despite the change in the academic discourse foregrounding “agency” in translation and interpreting, the image of conference interpreting in the eyes of the outsiders still centers around the “non-presence of the interpreter in his/her own interpretation ” . Outsiders continue to praise interpreters when they think the interpreter is fully loyal to the speaker and criticise them very harshly when they think there is a deviation from the word of the speaker. This is especially true in the representation of the profession(al) by the media. This paper aims to contribute to the analysis of the discourse on conference interpreting by reviewing the recent examples of news reporting on conference interpreting in the mainstream and social media, and by critically reflecting on the (in)adequacy of the response of the professional world to these developments.
