Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the interpreter's rendition during the interpretation of emotionally-charged content. In fact, the focus of the research is: What happens if the appraisal of an emotionally stressful experience increases psychological arousal in simultaneous interpreting? On the basis of this idea, I have carried out a pilot study and successively an experiment on 10 simultaneous interpreting students using an emotionally-charged video, the content of which relates to the Holocaust. After having analysed the results of the students' renditions, I have observed that during particularly emotional passages of the video almost all subjects tended to modulate their voices, and I therefore began investigating some of the paralinguistic elements, particularly prosody and pauses, in order to understand whether those elements were related to the video's content.
