and its strategies in warzones, and most importantly during the Arab Spring, specifically in Libya. The data used is divided into two categories, Mummar Algaddafi speech during the Arab Spring, and press conferences of Libyan officials and two interviews on CNN. The article will present the significant issues interpreters deal with during live interpreting session whether on Live TV or during a conference. The first category to be discussed is omission and the loss of meaning during interpreting. The article will also discuss the way interpreters sometimes tend to add information for explaining purposes or emphasis. Lastly, the importance of creativity and approximating the meaning, as in using metaphors in the TT to interpret ST metaphors. It is evident through the discussion that (1): interpreters deliberately use particular strategies during conflict zones and they are mainly: omission, addition and approximating. This is either to emphasis a particular narrative or shape the audience views. (2) Undoubtedly, interpreters play a major role in rendering the message to the world, as they use different strategies while interpreting some to emphasis a certain narrative, while others simply to clarify the text. |\n| Article history\u003Cbr>Received: July 18, 2019\u003Cbr>Accepted: September 04, 2019\u003Cbr>Published: October 31, 2019\u003Cbr>Volume: 10 Issue: 5\u003Cbr>Advance access: October 2019 |  |\n| Conflicts of interest: None\u003Cbr>Funding: None |  |\n| Key words:\u003Cbr>Interpreters In Warzone, Libyan Conflict, Algaddafi,\u003Cbr>Libyan Dialects, Interpreting Techniques, Metaphor, Summarising |  |\n\nINTRODUCTION  \nToday, interpreters working in conflict zones are highly regarded as mediators since they operate under different circumstances that inevitably influence their interpretation. The emergence of conflicts across the world, particularly in the Middle East region led to significant need to a fairly new discipline in the Translation Studies area related to interpreters in warzones. Unfortunately, until today, there has been adearth in research in this particular area; thus  \n, this article aims to shed light on the various strategies interpreters’use during those times. In this article, we aim to approach the topic from the interpreters point of view, and focus on the strategies interpreters use – whether deliberately or not-while interpreting in conflict zones.  \nHence, this article aims to enrich the research conducted about interpreting during times of conflicts by shedding light on specific issues and strategies to which warzones interpreters face during their work. Such issues could either occur due to dialect related issues (i.e. Libyan dialect versus other Arab dialects), or simply because of cultural references that are mainly familiar to the people in that given country. This article intends to highlight several strategies interpreters tend  \nused during conflict times, and highlights the interpreter’s role in conveying the message into the TT audience.  \nINTERPRETING  \n“The translator’s activity is more like that of a writer, while the interpreter’s performance is more like that of an actor”(Nolan, 2005: 3) . Scholars recognize interpreting as an oral immediate translation (Jones, 2002) . There are different types of interpreting; the most common ones are consecutive and simultaneous interpreting. Consecutive interpreting is considered as the oldest and most difficult type of interpreting, ","cbCaijVjTfnnUP0A","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijVjTfnnUP0A","pdf",219669,"English","# Introduction\n# Interpreting","[{\"question\":\"What data sources are used in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study uses Mummar Algaddafi’s speeches during the Arab Spring, press conferences of Libyan officials, and two interviews on CNN.\"},{\"question\":\"Which interpreting issues are highlighted in live interpreting sessions?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights omission and the loss of meaning, adding information for explanation or emphasis, and approximating meaning creatively through devices such as metaphors.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the article describe interpreters’ role during conflict?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that interpreters deliberately apply strategies in conflict zones—mainly omission, addition, and approximating—to emphasize narratives and shape audience views, while also clarifying the message.\"}]","Interpreting in the Libyan Uprising - A Study of Interpreting Strategies from Arabic to English | PDF",1792068505,11]
