Interpreters can be defined by the mode they work in – a simultaneous interpreter or a dialogue interpreter – by the setting they work in – a conference interpreter or a court interpreter, or by one of their working languages – sign language interpreter. In this talk, I will discuss cognitive aspects of the interpreting tasks and what it can tell us about a variety of different areas in interpreting, I will also briefly touch upon why certain labels for interpreters are misnomers.
