AB This article discusses the practical realities of working as an interpreter in Britain’s publicservices. It gives a brief outline of current practices, to set the ideas in context. It then looksat the demands made on the personal, emotional, professional and linguistic resources ofthe people, often called to hospitals or police stations in the night, whose task is to conveymeaning between the authorities and the disempowered, bewildered and afraid. Goffman(“Footing”), and later H.H. Clark, developed a theory of interlocutor roles based on mono-lingual dialogue. This describes the roles occupied by interlocutors during the activities ofspeaking and listening. I apply that to the interpreting triad, and suggest that there are tworoles described which the interpreter ought not to occupy, in order to protect their face,and guard against inadvertent alterations.
