In an increasingly global community, the ability to facilitate communication across languages and cultures is in important skill.  Interpreting ability can facilitate cross-cultural exchanges, business consultations, and diplomatic negotiations.  In this presentation, I will discuss interpreting ability within a general context of language use.  I will discuss interpreting as a specific case of language use, including the different contextual and language user characteristics that can influence this.
