Psycholinguistic aspects of simultaneous interpretation
Translation in its innermost part is a psychological process, therefore, the identification of the psychological basis of translation is a necessary prerequisite for the knowledge of its essence. This explains the connection between translation theory and psycholinguistics.
Psycholinguistics studies the processes of speech generation and perception in their correlation with the language system.
