It is extremely difficult to defie the concept of interpreting strategies from a theoretical (description of interpreting process), practical (performing interpreting task) or didactic point of view (teaching how to solve interpreting problems). We are as yet unable to explicitly distinguish the features of such strategies that are characteristic of interpreting. In many studies strategies are commonly referred to as methods, tactics, competences or norms in interpreting. The aim of the article is to present different classifications and taxonomies of interpreting strategies and to propose three strategies specific in interpreting, i.e. anticipation strategy which allows the interpreter to achieve simultaneous listening and speaking, condensation strategy which facilitates working under time pressure, while conveying complete information, and notation strategy which supports the interpreter's short-term memory.
