This study investigates to what extent the identities of American Sign Language-English interpreters shift the understanding of an event and, subsequently, the interpreter's decision making. An interpreter is an active participant in a mediated conversation and takes on differing participant roles to support effective meaning transfer. Interpreters leverage their physical bodies and socialized selves to create meaning across languages. Interpreter participation can be understood through the framework of role-space and its three axes: participant/conversation alignment, interaction management, and presentation of self. Incomplete access to meaning can result in a mismatch between the original and translated message, potentially skewing the message's intent and the individual's perception from which the message originates. Data in this study was collected in an interpreted interaction and a playback interview and analyzed using the frame of interactional sociolinguistics via the tactics of intersubjectivity to investigate how interpreters embody meaning and negotiate their visibility as participants in an interaction centering identity. A stepwise analysis focused on identity-fronting mechanisms such as agency, stance-taking, implicature, and linguistic variation in the deaf/hearing pair and subsequently the interpreter. Findings showed interpreter identity to be an influence on participant identity construction by way of phonemic, lexical, and pragmatic style, stance-taking fillers, eyegaze shifts, metaphorical meaning in signing space, and interpreter clarification/other-initiated repair. Implications of this study include more informed interpreter interaction and a decrease in potential harm toward consumers of interpreting through conscious or unconscious message inaccuracies or interpreter intervention. Further, identifying identity-driven decision making may probe accepted paradigms of ethical decision-making standards of practice.
