Abstract

This study aimed at investigating errors in simultaneous interpretation and examining the cognitive procesess of interpreters using Error Analysis theory. The study emphasizes the link between Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and interpretation, highlighting the transfer of linguistic repertoire in interpreters' minds. It assumed that this transfer plays a crucial role in the manifestation of potential new types of errors. To clarify this assumption, this study conducted Document Analysis in 6 videos of the simultaneous Interpretation exam and perform interview to the 6 of the student interpreters at IAIN Curup. From 281 line of data that had 73 classified coded errors, researcher noted the finding of two new errors namely Language Confusion Errors and Repetition Errors. This new finding proved the cross-linguistic issues highlighted in this study. This study also found multiple error in one utterance that serving as a source to explain the cognitive causes of it. Another result of this study is the strong interference of Indonesian language to the performance of the interpreter. It argues for negative transfer of L1 and representational nature of how underdeveloped language error is triggered by nervousness, mind blank, speaking speed, interpreting struggle, L1 interference, lost of focus and not catching the messages. These concerns are particularly evident in the connection of the language and interpreters L2 acquisition, which are the factors that help in exploring how language is mixed and altered in the brain. This study suggests the improvement of feedback on student interpreter and error-based evaluation at any practice regarding the development of students’ language acquisition.
