What a micro-analytical investigation of additions and expansions in remote interpreting can tell us about interpreters’ participation in a shared virtual space
This paper explores data from video-mediated remote interpreting (RI). The primary aim is to investigate of the motives for additions/expansions in RI. We employ Conversation Analysis enriched with an analysis of social macro-variables. A secondary aim is to evaluate the usefulness of this methodological approach. The analysis highlights the complex and multidimensional nature of additions/expansions in RI.
