Dialogue interpreting : A monologising practice in a dialogically organised world

• This paper investigates dialogue interpreting as a monologising social practice, and demonstrates how this can be done within a generai theoretical framework of dialogism. Drawing on earlier research on naturally occurring, interpreted face-to-face interaction, the paper argues for treating dialogue interpreting as a separate empirical field within the generai field of Translation Studies. The constant overlap between target and source environment is identified as one of its characteristic features. Adding to the current discussion on ethics in Translation Studies, the paper finally highlights the point of distinguishing between interpreters' professional ideology and lived professional practice.
