Strategies in public service interpreting: a roleplay study of Chinese–Spanish/Catalan interactions

Strategies have been far more widely researched in conference interpreting than in the interactional setting of public service interpreting (PSI), although studies of the latter by Wadensjö and other authors suggest a strategic rationale for certain types of rendition (especially non-renditions).
