Sign Language Translation and Interpreting: Routledge Introductions to Translation and Interpreting

Autor Christopher Stone, Thaisa Hughes
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 feb 2027
Sign Language Translation and Interpreting addresses the growing need for skilled deaf and hearing sign language translators and interpreters by integrating foundational theory with practical skill development. This essential textbook provides a comprehensive suite of exercises to build threshold translation and interpreting competencies, examines the key role of current technology in SLTI practice, and offers training exercises for deaf and hearing SLTIs working together, with attention to how their roles may differ in practice.
 
Beginning with one-way interpreting to develop glossary application and preparation skills while building stamina through targeted exercises, the text then progresses to two-way interpreting to enhance language and interaction management. Specialized chapters focus on health and legal domains, examining the systems SLTI professionals navigate, institutional roles, professional competencies, and when to use sight translation, consecutive, and simultaneous interpreting modes. Finally, there is valuable guidance on transitioning to practice and engaging with the profession, including building networks and contributing to both the profession and to Deaf communities.
 
Featuring practical examples throughout the text and in  downloadable support material resources, this textbook offers clear justifications for theoretical engagement and reflective practice. It includes classroom discussions, activities, and translation and interpreting examples designed to enhance learning and participation. An indispensable resource for sign language translation and interpreting courses in translation studies programs and for training professional sign language translators and interpreters.

Recenzii

"This is a long-awaited and much-needed textbook in the field of sign language interpreting education. It is the first comprehensive resource of its kind to bring together the fundamental skills of interpreting with the knowledge and competencies required in more specialised settings, such as legal and medical interpreting. For too long, students and educators have had to draw on a wide range of scattered resources to address these different dimensions of interpreter education. This book fills that gap by offering a structured, practical and comprehensive resource that can accompany students throughout their training while also supporting educators in their teaching. I am convinced that this book will quickly become an essential resource on the table of both interpreting students and trainers, providing a valuable foundation for developing competent, reflective and versatile sign language interpreters."
-Dr Irene Strasly, University of Geneva

The language is appropriate for the intended audience, and the content is presented in a coherent and logical manner. The textbook demonstrates a clear progression of ideas, with the topics arranged systematically and presented step by step. The structure facilitates understanding and provides a smooth flow of information. The use of appropriate cross-references further strengthens the coherence and consistency of the document. The content provides relevant and well-developed contextual perspectives and incorporates different approaches to the subject matter. This enhances the academic value of the textbook and demonstrates a comprehensive treatment of the topics. Overall, the textbook is of good academic quality, well structured, clear, and relevant."
