Abstract:

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.
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.
