Principal investigator: Prof. Dr. Dr. hc Juliane House
Research assistant: Dr. Bernd Meyer [private homepage 
]
Student assistants: Daniel Figueiroa, Elaine Padilha Guimarães, Birte Pawlack
Research questions: Which linguistic means applied by interpreters serve to enhance the comprehensibility of source-language discourse? Do procedures such as explicitations, explanations, or replacements of linguistic forms differ with respect to the interpreting mode (consecutive vs. simultaneous), and (if so) to which extent?
Methods: We investigate speeches on the social and ecological
consequences of genetically modified seeds held by a Brazilian expert in front
of a German non-expert audience. The speeches were held at different places
throughout
