SUMMARY:FACTOR talk: Esposito - Human interpretation and machine translation in law enforcement settings
DESCRIPTION:\n\nInterpretation and translation services are widely used and 
 accounted for in criminal justice systems across the world\, where 
 individuals who don’t speak the language of the legal systems they live 
 in are legally entitled to be provided with language assistance (Art 6 of 
 the European Convention on Human Rights).\n\nHowever\, as the form that 
 this language assistance takes on varies from country to country\, my 
 research focuses only on interpretation and translation practices in the 
 criminal justice system of England and Wales\, and\, specifically\, on 
 police interpreting and machine translation in the police context.\n\nAs 
 police interpreting remains still under-researched\, and linguistic outputs 
 deriving from non-optimal interpretation/translation practices in the 
 police setting can have serious legal consequences for the investigative 
 process and the individuals involved\, this talk will focus on the reasons 
 why linguistic analysis of authentic police data – interpreter-assisted 
 police interviews in this case – could result in enhanced police 
 practices in regard to interviewing strategies and the use of 
 interpretation/translation services\; on my hypotheses regarding the 
 viability of machine translation software in high-stakes scenarios\; and on 
 the challenges I have faced so far in regard to data access\, communicating 
 with police forces and conveying the main points of my research to 
 them.\n\nIf bridging the gap between academia and external 
 institutions/bodies is the goal\, sometimes it can be very difficult to 
 achieve!\n\n
