| Details | This article focuses on the nature of non-linguistic mental representations constructed by simultaneous interpreters drawing on the conceptual complex (CC) model originally introduced by Funayama (e.g. 2005, 2007). While processing source text, two types of mental representations are considered relevant: linguistic and conceptual representations. Conceptual representations remain longer in the interpreter’s mind than linguistic ones, facilitating the processing of source text and the production of target text. Although conceptual representations develop incrementally, they keep their identity during discourse processing. Consequently, some of their features remain unaltered, while others change. The conceptual skeleton is identified as the solid part of non-linguistic representations. |
