What is it about?
On-line prediction of information is an important part of simultaneous interpreting, but what triggers it? We have shown that by applying psycholinguistic methods of monolingual sentence processing to the investigation of prediction during simultaneous interpreting, it is possible to pinpoint the types of cues that lead to prediction and their relation to sentence structure.

Why is it important?
Our study provides a method of investigating simultaneous interpreting online or as it happens. We call for further online investigations to examine the effect of language-specific probabilistic information on prediction during simultaneous interpreting.
Perspectives
This study provides a good basis for further interdisciplinary investigations of simultaneous interpreting and in particular the role that sentence structure and probabilistic information (i.e. transitional probabilities between words) play during language processing in a complex task like SI.
