- Abstract
- A computer-aided analysis of some 800 sentences taken from English into Korean simultaneous interpretation(SI) revealed that the average ear-voice-span (EVS) is 3 seconds.
Statistical analysis showed that speaker variables, including the length of original English
sentence, wpm, and pauses affected the length of EVS, and the EVS, in turn, affected the
interpreter variables. When the EVS is lengthened, Korean interpreters increased the
speed of their target language (TL) delivery to catch up with the speaker. Long EVS had
a negative effect, not only on the quality of the sentence being processed, but also on the
processing of the following sentence.
