Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis 

Call Deadline: 28-Oct-2020 

Meeting Description:

In a short time, technology has profoundly changed the ways in which we
communicate. Especially since the outbreak of the Covid-19 crisis, remote
communication has seen a massive increase in all contexts. In dialogue
interpreting settings, the use of remote interpreting (RI) by telephone and
video link increases accessibility of public services to non-native speakers.
Assessing its efficiency is therefore essential to ensure inclusion of all
citizens.

When communication is mediated by an interpreter by means of RI, this adds up
to the already complex character of the communicative event. Since the
interpreter takes a turn at talk after each primary participant’s turn,
interactional issues, such as overlapping speech, are likely to have an even
stronger disruptive effect on the communication than is the case in
monolingual events. Evidence-based research on RI indicates that such
disruptions are primarily related to the reduced possibility for
synchronization of interaction (Wadensjö, 1999). Recent research focusing
specifically on interaction management (Davitti, 2018; De Boe, 2020; Vranjes &
Brône, 2020) suggests that in remote dialogue interpreting, smoothness of
interaction is affected. This is mostly due to reduced visual access, which
impinges on the use of nonverbal resources (such as gaze and gesture) to
manage the conversational flow. These outcomes call for a more granular,
micro-analytical investigation of the ways in which interaction management is
accomplished in RI. Since smoothness is a decisive factor in participants’
satisfaction with communication, it is of vital importance to further
investigate which factors contribute to realising fluent interaction
management, as well as the role of visual access in these dynamics.

Therefore, this panel invites evidence-based research contributions aimed at
examining interaction management (turn transitions, negotiation of meaning,
repair, backchannelling behaviour, a.o.) in RI by telephone and video link. We
strongly encourage micro-analytical approaches, based on data derived from
authentic as well as experimental settings (including simulations and
eye-tracking experiments), in various contexts of spoken language remote
dialogue interpreting. In sum, empirically grounded insights from these
studies will make a contribution to the burgeoning research on the complex
conversational dynamics of remote dialogue interpreting.
