Language mediation in news making: from simultaneous interpreting to other (hybrid) transfer modes
Year: 2011
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: The present paper aims at exploring the features pertaining to the textuality, usability \nand functionality of simultaneous interpreting (SI) in the news making and news \nreporting process. SI will be discussed with focus on the interplay between SI and other \nlanguage transfer modes (voice-over, subtitling, free commentary/narration, hybrid \nforms), which may be used as an alternative to SI; synchronically co-exist (on different TV \nchannels) or diachronically follow each other in the coverage of the same event (on the \nsame TV channel). Language mediation will be investigated in the context of Italian \ntelevision, which often enables viewers to select the interpreter(s) and/or the transfer mode \nthrough which they wish to watch a news event. The analysis is based on data drawn from \nCorIT (Italian Television Interpreting Corpus) (cf. Straniero Sergio 2007; Falbo 2009).
