Resumo: This research presents the results of a series of empirical studies, including a pilot test, an experiment and a set of questionnaires. These studies were aimed at analyzing the effects, if any, caused by the differences in the intonation of the source texts, i.e. marked and monotonous intonation, on the overall quality of the simultaneous interpreting produced by a group of subjects. The subjects were advanced undergraduate Translation and Interpretation students studying at the University of Vigo. The pilot test initially appeared to confirm our hypothesis that marked intonation would have a positive effect on the overall quality of simultaneous interpretations. However, the subsequent experiment did not corroborate the results of the pilot study, indicating that a factor other than intonation, namely speed, may have had a greater impact on the subject's performance, stated by the subjects themselves in the questionnaires as being the single-most factor which prevented them from providing a high quality interpretation.

A pesar de que la prueba piloto pareció confirmar la hipótesis de partida, esto es, que la entonación marcada sí tenía un efecto positivo en la calidad global de las interpretaciones simultáneas, el experimento principal llevado a cabo más adelante no corroboró los resultados de la prueba anterior y apuntó a la presencia de otro factor, distinto de la entonación, que pudo tener una mayor influencia en las interpretaciones de dichos sujetos: la velocidad de producción. De hecho, este factor que se acaba de mencionar es el que, según han manifestado los sujetos experimentales en los cuestionarios, más les ha dificultado la realización de una interpretación simultánea de calidad.Instituto Superior de Contabilidade e Administração do Porto2016-11-23info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34630/polissema.v0i16.2962https://doi.org/10.34630/polissema.v0i16.2962POLISSEMA – ISCAP Journal of Letters; No. 16 (2016); 95-111POLISSEMA – Revista de Letras do ISCAP; Núm. 16 (2016); 95-111POLISSEMA; No 16 (2016); 95-111POLISSEMA – Revista de Letras do ISCAP; N.º 16 (2016); 95-1112184-710X1645-1937reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPspahttps://parc.ipp.pt/index.php/Polissema/article/view/2962https://parc.ipp.pt/index.php/Polissema/article/view/2962/928Direitos de Autor (c) 2016 POLISSEMA – Revista de Letras do ISCAPinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRodríguez, Raquel Sobrado2024-02-01T20:17:13Zoai:oai.parc.ipp.pt:article/2962Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:00:47.162360Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
