Abstract:

In this book, we aim to bring together seminal approaches and state-of-the-art 
research on interpretation as a tribute to Brian Harris' influential legacy to 
Translatology and Interpreting Studies. Whenever Harris has sat down to 
reflect and write, he has paved the way to new approaches and promising 
areas of research. One of his most outstanding contributions is the notion of 
natural translation, i.e., the idea that all humans share an intuitive capacity to 
translate which is co-extensive with bilingualism at any age, regardless of 
language proficiency. This contribution has proved pivotal to translation and 
interpreting research. In a world where most individuals speak more than one 
language, and therefore millions of translational acts are performed every 
second by untrained bilinguals, the concept of natural translation provides the 
arena for T&I scholars to discuss issues directly related to or stemming from 
it, such as bilingualism, language brokering, community/public service and 
diplomatic interpreting, all of them paramount to interpreting research and the 
future of the profession.
