PRAGMA-SEMANTIC FEATURES OF SIMULTANEOUS INTERPRETING

This article examines the pragmatic and semantic features of simultaneous interpreting as a complex communicative activity in which interpreters must reconstruct and convey not only the propositional meaning of an utterance but also the speaker’s communicative intention, implied meanings, interpersonal attitudes, and contextual references. The study aims to identify the principal mechanisms through which semantic content and pragmatic meaning are processed and reproduced under the temporal and cognitive constraints of simultaneous interpreting. The research employs descriptive-analytical, comparative, contextual, and pragmatic approaches based on established theories of interpreting studies, speech acts, conversational implicature, and relevance theory.
