Abstract

Interpretation occurs in society, and therefore theories of sociology may offer us new insights into the role of the court interpreter. By drawing on the theory of practice by the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, this study sets out to explore the habitus of the court interpreter. It is found that both interpreting practice and interpreter training have important impact on court interpreter’s habitus. And interpreter’s habitus has a specific and lasting effect on his interpreting strategy.
