The aim of this experimental study is to analyze how simultaneously interpreted texts (from Italian into Spanish) are affected by a series of disfluencies, and their effects on oral rendition. Three corpora of (Italian) source and (Spanish) target texts were created to offer a wider perspective of the above-mentioned phenomena, which have been divided into two categories: disfluencies and carry-over effects (Schjolager 1995; Gile 2009). The results of the analysis shed light on the main difficulties arising during an oral task such as simultaneous interpreting from Italian into Spanish, comparing them with the source text phenomena.
