Abstract

The Postscript is designed to feature a short summary of the findings from the study, emphasizing the uniqueness and independence of consecutive interpreting in comparison to other types of translation. In addition, the Postscript focuses on the empirical phenomenological methodology used for this study. The importance of the conceptual/conceptual interface shows many a contribution by phenomenology directly to the humanities. Only by making the relationship between phenomenology and empirical methods explicit and clear can we study social phenomena like consecutive interpreting as phenomena in themselves. In order to illustrate this point, I offer an outline of a potential study of playing and suggest a new opening to teaching consecutive interpreting.
