The mission of the interpreter is to help individuals and communities to acquire a fuller knowledge and a

deeper understanding of one another, and, what is still more important, a greater respect for one another. Also to come to an agreement if they should want to do so. Who said this definition?

Interpreting is a special form of translation, because the situation requires the presence of the ST recipient (ST-R) as well as the translator and the TT recipient (TT-R). Since interpreting is a form of face-to-face communication, both the sender and the recipient are present -as is shown in the usual models of communication- together with the translator in the role of IT producer. All the participants communicate in the same place at the same time using the same medium, and the function of the text is the same for all of them except the translator. However, what is different is the cultural background of the ST-S and the ST-R on

the one hand, and the TT-R, on the other (1991: 6). Who said this definition?

Interpretation differs from translation in that the Sender (the speaker) generally speaks either to the target-language listeners only, [...] or to both source-language listeners and target-language listeners. It should be noted that in interpreting, unlike translation, all parties concerned are aware of the

communication situation, including possible difficulties associated with the interlingual and sometimes

intercultural transfer. Who said this definition?

The essence of interpreting skills is to receive a message which is not formulated for the interpreter and to deliver that message in a form and a character indistinguishable from the original. The message includes all the elements which constitute the act of communication (comprising semantic, pragmatic and semiotic dimensions) in a particular temporal and situational context. The skills of an interpreter therefore extend beyond the linguistic and include the capacity to internalize and transmit the many nuances of a particular

situation. Who said this definition?
