Keywords:
Simultaneous interpretation, cognitive load, accuracy, ethics, interpreter training, real-time translation, memory techniques.Abstract
Simultaneous interpretation (SI) is a complex and cognitively demanding process that enables real-time cross-lingual communication in international settings. This article explores the fundamental principles underlying effective SI through a qualitative analysis of existing literature and professional guidelines. Key principles identified include comprehension and listening skills, cognitive load management, accuracy and fidelity, speed and timing, ethical standards, and memory and note-taking techniques.
