Abstract

To have a complete and indeed scientific enquiry of interpreting study is to invoke another expansive and shrill systematic point of view, namely the discourse study. This is because interpreting is the composite acts of transmitting the conveyed messages linguistically, understanding the whole interaction among all participants, and rendering the intended meaning prevalently. Thus, such thorough discourse analysis is worthy to make in drawing comprehensive elaboration of those phenomena. Technically, in doing interpreting, various strategies will be implemented when dealing with the complicated massages transfer or in coping the dense intended meaning of the utterances. Thus, this paper will dive deeper scrutinizing of what lies beneath when an interpreter put such strategies in the realm of legal activity by using discourse analysis. Specifically, this paper will investigate one of Indonesia phenomenal judicial event which involved court interpreting activity, namely the case of Jessica Kumala Wongso. Finally, to make a substantial inference then the study of conversational analysis and communication theory is crucially applied.
