切尔诺夫被看作是口译研究圈内俄罗斯学派最重要的人物。切尔诺夫是一位真正的“实践研究两栖专家”。除了担任俄罗斯驻联合国的首席口译员外，他也曾是Maurice Thorez学院英语翻译与口译系的助理教授，1991年起任莫斯科国际口译学院(MIIS)院长，1995年起任莫斯科国立语言学院口译理论、历史及实践研究教授。

在《同声传译中的推理与预期》中，他首先从心理语言学的角度对同声传译的研究进行了解析。然后他又从语义学和语用学角度分析了语篇各个层面的冗余信息的产生，并提出了“同传的概率预期模型”。

《同声传译中的推理与预期》作者Ghelly V.Chernov首先从心理语言学的角度对同声传译的研究进行了解析，并得出了结论：同声传译是一种独特的极限认知条件下的人类语言活动，受制于短期的记忆。然后作者又从语义学和语用学角度分析了语篇各个层面的冗余信息的产生，并提出了“同传的概率预期模型”。《同声传译中的推理与预期》提供了一个全面、综合、跨学科的方法来描述同传的工作机制，用科学的方法对同声传译以及同传议员等相关议题进行了诠释。
