Abstract
This article posits that Translations in different types of interlingual transfer can be compared. This is demonstrated by an analysis of a speech given by the then American president Bill Clinton in Copenhagen in July 1997. This speech was (a) interpreted simultaneously, (b) subtitled for television, and (c) translated for newspapers. It therefore serves as a fine case study. The article first examines potentials and constraints in the three types of interlingual transfer represented, then the target texts are analysed, and finally they are compared and assessed in order to determine whether differences are due to limitations specific to one type of interlingual transfer or to choices and decisions made by individual interpreters, subtitlers or translators. It is concluded that comparisons can, in fact, be made.
