| Summary: | This text discusses some of the developments which occurred in the field of Inuktitut interpreting from 1974 until 1987. It outlines the problems which were encountered and describes the steps taken to correct them. Specific comments on topics such as consecutive vs. simultaneous interpretation, comprehension, problems with input and the role of the interpreter as communicator are also discussed. L'article décrit le développement, entre 1974 et 1987, de l'interprétation en inuktitut. On présente les diverses difficultés rencontrées depuis la création du "Corps des interprètes", les actions entreprises pour les corriger et les réalisations de cette période. On traite également d'interprétation consécutive et simultanée et des problèmes de compréhension et de réception spécifiques à l'inuktitut. On examine enfin le rôle de l'interprète en tant que communicateur. |
