In addition to linguistics, interpreting research borrows and develops theories and methods from sociology, anthropology, didactics, psychology and cognitive science. Interpreting research provides knowledge on interpreting as translation between two languages, and also as specific forms of communication between people.
Interpreting research can be based on the interpreting individuals, their output, cognitive operations etc. Research can also be based on the social and cultural contexts where interpreting takes place, to explain how communication is affected by the fact that the participants speak different languages via a third person.
