  • Položaj tolmača in usmerjenost njegovega pogleda v medicinskem okolju
    Kocijančič-Pokorn, Nike ...
    The article focuses on the issue of the recommended position and the gaze of the interpreter in health-care settings. The traditional assumption in theoretical works and codes of conducts assumes ... that the ideal position of the interpreter in a medical environment is in a triadic position, i.e. in a perfect triangle where the patient, provider and interpreter can maintain appropriate eye contact. The article challenges this claim from the point of view of communication studies and by examining the reality of interpreting in the clinical setting, focussing on spatial constrictions in different health-care institutions and on the actual practice of 60 public-service interpreters working in healt-care-settings in Slovenia. Finally, suggestions how to address this topic in interpreter training are discussed.
