Title
Interpersonal features of talk in interpreted medical consultations
This linguistic study examined the interpersonal features of the talk between doctors and patients in consultations where a professional medical interpreter was required for them to communicate. Such features affect the relationship between doctor and patient and can impact on medical outcomes. The findings will assist interpreters and doctors in talking to patients and forms part of a larger project to develop a theory of medical interpreting.
