Guest Editors

Translation and Interpreting Studies (John Benjamins) invites proposals for a
special thematic issue on signed language interpretation and translation to be
published in April of 2018. The editors aim to bring together papers that
address critical issues in the linguistic analysis of interpretations and
translations that occur between a signed language and spoken or written
language.

We welcome data driven papers on the spectrum between a microanalysis of one
specific lexical item to the examination of a full interpreted or translated
discourse. Papers may take a descriptive, applied, or theoretical approach to
interpreting and translation of a signed language. We encourage a broad range
of methodological approaches and theoretical frameworks, including
qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods.

Suggested Topics (related to interpreting and translation): 
- Discourse in specialized settings (e.g., legal, healthcare, education,
politics, media, video)
- Interpreting for emergent signers 
- Lexical gaps between signed and spoken languages
- Discourse structure and signing space
- Conversation analysis
- Figurative language and metaphor 
- Message accuracy between source and target
- Effects of modality in linguistic production/reception
- Metalinguistics, semantics, and pragmatics
- Language use in interpreter/translator education
- Linguistic issues in trilingual interpreting and translation
- The work of deaf interpreters and translators
- Linguistic issues in tactile and close vision interpreting
