Abstract:
What are the implications of strategic manoeuvring for the activity of the
simultaneous interpreter? This is the main question addressed in "The Quest
for Argumentative Equivalence". Based on the analysis of a multilingual
comparable corpus named ARGO, the book investigates political argumentation
with an eye to its reformulation by interpreters. After reporting and
discussing a series of case studies illustrating interpreters’ problems in the
political context, the study reconstructs the prototypical argumentative
patterns used by Obama, Cameron, Sarkozy and Hollande not only in a
hermeneutical perspective, but also considering interpreters’ need to
reproduce them into a foreign language. Situated at the intersection of
Argumentation Theory and Interpreting Studies, the book provides a
contribution to the descriptive study of political argumentation, highlighting
the presence of interpreters as a key contextual variable in political
communication and deepening the study of the interlinguistic and translational
implications of the act of arguing.
