Discourse Coherence and Cohesion in Simultaneous Interpreting Prediction

Coherence and cohesion are two important resources through which discourse meaning is constructed. A mastery of principles of coherence and cohesion ensures a better understanding of discourse. In simultaneous interpreting, prediction plays a crucial role in interpreting successfully. Adopting the principles of coherence and cohesion, interpreters could not only have a better understanding of the speakers’utterance but also predict effectively as to what is going to be mentioned. Thus, the interpreting becomes accurate, fast and smooth.
