A unique and balanced combination of translation and interpreting studies, edited and written by leading voices in the fields
In Introduction to Translation and Interpreting Studies, accomplished scholars Aline Ferreira and John W. Schwieter have brought together a detailed and comprehensive introductory-level textbook covering the essential aspects of translation and interpreting studies. Through chapters authored by leading voices in the field, this book covers topics of theoretical and conceptual relevance―such as the history of the development of the field and methods for understanding gender, society, and culture as aspects of the role of the interpreter―as well as critical topics in the application of theory to real world practice.
Beginning with an authoritative treatment of the theoretical developments that have defined the field since the early 1970s, this textbook first describes the influential work of such figures as Jakobson, Holmes, and Toury, thus ensuring students develop a thorough understanding of the history and theoretical underpinnings of the fields of translation and interpreting studies. The text then begins to introduce grounded discussions of interpreting in specialized fields such as legal and healthcare interpreting and sign language translation. Learning is reinforced throughout the text through pedagogical features including reflection questions, highlighted key words, further readings, and chapter objectives. Instructors will also have access to companion website with PowerPoint slides and multiple-choice questions to support classroom application.
Truly a unique work in translation and interpreting studies, this essential new textbook offers:
- A thorough introduction to the fields of translation and interpreting with discussion of applications to interdisciplinary topics
- Explorations of translation machines and technology, including their history and recent trends
- Practical discussions of culture, gender, and society in the context of translation and interpreting studies, as well as training and pedagogical issues in translation and interpreting
- A concise examination of translation process research and methods, including the mental processes and actions that people take while translating
- Complementary web materials including PowerPoint slides and practice questions
Ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in programs in such as linguistics, language studies, and communications, or for those who plan to work in translation and/or interpreting, Introduction to Translation and Interpreting Studies will earn a place in the libraries of anyone interested in a reader-friendly translation and interpreting resource.
