After a review of the development and state of the art in machine interpreting, more commonly\u0000 referred to as ‘spoken language translation’ or ‘speech translation’, the question of whether machine interpreting is interpreting\u0000 is discussed – first with regard to terminology and conceptual distinctions and then in broader translation-theoretical\u0000 frameworks. Using Otto Kade’s early definitional proposal as a point of departure, a reconceptualization is proposed in the form\u0000 of a three-dimensional model designed to go beyond rigid taxonomies. The dimensions of agency, embodiment and immediacy are used\u0000 to characterize translation as a graded concept in which these features may be more or less prominent.","PeriodicalId":43764,"journal":{"name":"Translation Spaces","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141114906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyze the data (51\u0000 articles) for indications of (1) translators’ overall JS; (2) associations of overall JS with individual, job-intrinsic,\u0000 job-extrinsic, societal, and background factors; (3) translators’ satisfaction with job-intrinsic, job-extrinsic, and\u0000 societal aspects of their work. Translators’ overall JS in the data is fairly high, and it is linked to emotional intelligence,\u0000 the nature of translating, autonomy, interpersonal relationships, status perceptions, working mode, gender, and experience. The\u0000 translators studied are mostly happy with the job-intrinsic aspects, but their views on extrinsic and societal aspects are more\u0000 divided. Gaps in research include individual factors (e.g., self-efficacy, personality traits), background factors (e.g., cultural\u0000 and socio-economic differences), and the interaction of the different types of factors.","PeriodicalId":43764,"journal":{"name":"Translation Spaces","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140726617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
