The present paper aims to examine the correlation between the presence of formal cohesive markers in the surface structure of the text and the length of the ear-voice span in simultaneous interpreting outputs. The types of cohesive devices analysed in the study are various types of conjunction: additive conjunction, adversative conjunction, causal conjunction, temporal conjunction, continuatives and emphatic conjunction. The model of classification of cohesive ties adopted in this study is that of Halliday and Hasan ( 1976), used previously by Shlesinger ( 1995) in her study of cohesion in simultaneous interpreting. The analysis of conjunctive cohesive ties rendition was performed using the criteria of Interpreting Constraints partly set in the framework of Information-processing Theory and relying heavily on Gile's Effort Models.
