Dimensions of Interpriting Studies
This volume brings together researchers, scholars, practitioners, interpreters, and trainer experts to share insights on the interdisciplinarity within interpreting studies. The diverse topics and research questions reflect the interplay between interpreting and various fields, such as linguistics and psychology, showcasing distinct methodologies. The cutting-edge research presented by international experts highlights the value of an interdisciplinary approach to interpretation. This work is beneficial for educators, interpreting students, and seasoned practitioners alike. In an era of multiculturalism and increased immigration, the role of interpreters, particularly in oral translation, has become crucial. Despite years of research on the essence of oral translation, evolving political, social, and cultural conditions present new challenges for both interpreters and researchers. Addressing these challenges requires an understanding of factors typically analyzed within individual academic disciplines. Recognizing the complexity of the translation process, the editors have invited esteemed researchers and practitioners to discuss the interdisciplinary nature of oral translation. This innovative volume aims to respond to essential questions regarding the nature of interpreting and the qualifications necessary for success in this field, making it relevant not only to scholars but also to translators and translation educators.
