Abstract:

Through the development of a valid and reliable instrument, this book sets
out to study the role that interpreters play in the various settings where
they work, i.e. the courts, the hospitals, business meetings, international
conferences, and schools. It presents interpreters' perceptions and beliefs
about their work as well as statements of their behaviors about their
practice. For the first time, the administration and results of a survey
administered across languages in Canada, Mexico and the United States offer
the reader a glimpse of the interpreters' views in their own words. It also
discusses the tension between professional ideology and the reality of
interpreters at work. This book has implications for the theory and
practice of interpreting across settings.
