Abstract:

This book brings together an international team of leading translation
teachers and researchers to address concerns that are central in
translation pedagogy. The authors address the location and weighting in
translation curricula of learning and training, theory and practice, and
the relationships between the profession, its practitioners, its professors
and scholars. They explore the concepts of translator competence, skills
and capacities and two papers report empirical studies designed to explore
effects of the use of translation in language teaching. These are
complemented by papers on student achievement and attitudes to translation
in programmes that are not primarily designed with prospective translators
in mind, and by papers that discuss language teaching within dedicated
translation programmes. The introduction and the closing paper consider
some causes and consequences of the odd relationships that speakers of
English have to other languages, to translation and ultimately, perhaps, to
their "own" language.

Abstract:

Until now, Ghelly Chernov's work on the theory of simultaneous
interpretation (SI) was mostly accessible only to a Russian-speaking
readership. Finally, Chernov's major work, originally published in Russia
in 1987 under the title ?????? ??????????? ???????? (Introduction to
Simultaneous Interpretation) and widely considered a classic in
interpretation theory, is now available in English as well. Adopting a
psycholinguistic approach to professional SI, Chernov defines it as a task
performed in a single pass concurrently with the source language speech,
under extreme perception and production conditions in which only a limited
amount of information can be processed at any given time. 

Being both a researcher and a practitioner, Chernov drew from a rich
interpreting corpus to create the first comprehensive model of simultaneous
interpretation. His model draws on semantics, pragmatics, Russian Activity
Theory and the SI communicative situation to formulate the principles of
objective and subjective redundancy and identify probability prediction as
the enabling mechanism of SI. Edited with notes and a critical foreword by
two active SI researchers, Robin Setton and Adelina Hild, this book will be
useful to practicing interpreters in providing a theoretical basis for
appreciating the syntactic and other devices that can be used by both
students and experienced interpreters in fine-tuning their performance in
the booth.
