Resumo (PT):
Starting from the observation that speech and gesture constitute one system, this paper proposes an approach to the analysis of spontaneous co-verbal gestures in a very communicative situation: simultaneous interpreting. Its main objective is to demonstrate how a descriptive approach can be devised and implemented to compare a speaker’s verbal and non-verbal modalities to his/her simultaneous interpreter’s verbal and non-verbal modalities. The paper presents a brief overview of the major studies on non-verbal communication and interpreting and illustrates the methodology proposed through examples from a case study. It concludes that this methodology, used within a carefully planned research design, could help researchers find possible answers to questions related to interpreters’ use of the gestural medium while interpreting in the simultaneous mode.
