A MODEL OF PREDICTION STRATEGY IN MONOLINGUAL COMPREHENSION

It is well accepted that individuals utilise prediction to their advantage when trying to understand complicated and challenging language. Due to the requirement that interpreters pay attention to and generate statements in two distinct languages simultaneously, simultaneous interpreting is extremely challenging. Therefore, it is not unexpected that most explanations assume simultaneous interpreters employ prediction during understanding. There is, however, no widely recognised explanation of how interpreters forecast, despite efforts to ascertain when, what, and on what basis they make these predictions.
