Interpreters are widely used in domain-specific, dynamic, and scripting languages. While their implementation is relatively simple, their performance is poor. In this thesis we improve the performance of interpreters using dynamic optimization techniques. This task is challenging because the information regarding the interpreted program is not known until the interpreter is run. Efficient imple...

In both “Answering for Sense” and “Sharing Voices,” Jean-Luc Nancy offers an account of the poet as interpreter gods. The voice in Homer’s Iliad Plato’s Ion is intrinsically originally doubled. Although there no divine outside poet’s voice, speaks poetic gives a to that goddess or muse. What exactly at stake this phenomenon we encounter here poet, namely gods making us speak? How it related thr...

When interpreting takes place in a videoconference setting, the intrinsic technological challenges and the very remoteness of the interpreters’ location compound the complexity of the task. Existing research on remote interpreting and the problems it entails focusses on remote conference interpreting, in which the interpreters are physically separated from the conference site while the primary ...

This paper presents InterpretBank, a computer-assisted interpreting tool developed to support conference interpreters during all phases of the interpreting process. The overall aim of the tool is to create an interpreter’s workstation which allows conference interpreters to optimize the workflow before, during and after the event they are called upon to interpret. The tool takes into considerat...
