Short-Term Phonetic L1 Interference in L2 Speech of Interpreters
Original language description
Research shows that foreign-accentedness due to transfer from one's first language (L1) has an effect on listeners' perception of the non-native speech and their judgements of the speakers. Accordingly, interpreters' pronunciation during interpreting into their second language (L2) is important for the quality of their performance. This pilot study explores whether the interpreting task itself increases L1-to-L2 interference because of the sustained simultaneous activation of bothlanguages that is necessary during interpreting. We hypothesize that (1) the continuous switching between languages leads to a rise in L1 interference in the course of interpreting and that (2) experienced interpreters, better at coping with the cognitive demands of interpreting, show a smaller increase in L1 interference compared to student interpreters. Two acoustic measures are used to assess the degree of interference in four recordings of Czech-to-English interpreting of a fifteen-minute source recording. The results lend weak support to the first hypothesis.
