The Effort Models of Interpreting
Interpreting often looks effortless from the outside. Yet, the interpreter's perception can be quite the opposite. The act of interpreting can be "difficult" due to the required intense effort to render all the information from the source language into the target language while considering the linguistic, cultural, and world knowledge of the consumers. On top of this, interpreters' degree of satisfaction with their work product plays into perceptions of "difficulty."
The Effort Models of Interpreting is a book chapter from Gile's Basic Concepts and Models for Interpreter and Translator Training. This is a textbook used by training programs of spoken language interpreters and translators. This chapter is a technical exploration of the three core Efforts of interpreting.
