Stalling strategy in simultaneous translation

Stalling is a SP strategy of trying to gain time by slowing down the delivery of translated material or by repeating thematic information that does not contain anything new in order to fill a pause that is too long (Gile 1995:130). Stalling in the translation literature is often described as a technique for resolving problems associated with putting the verb in the last place in the FL. Unlike the waiting strategy, when using this strategy, the simultaneous interpreter does not keep a pause, but fills it with thematic information, in some cases without avoiding repetitions. The task, as in the previous case, is to buy time to get a wider context. Stalling is often used in cases where it is impossible to use CO, i.e. the pause in the translation may be too long, and the speaker's “hint” comes after several semantic groups of the original
