Dialogue interpreting includes what is variously referred to in
English as Community, Public Service, Liaison, Ad Hoc or Bilateral
Interpreting - the defining characteristic being
interpreter-mediated communication in spontaneous face-to-face
interaction. Included under this heading are all kinds of
professional encounters: police, immigration and welfare services
interviews, doctor-patient interviews, business negotiations,
political interviews, lawyer-client and courtroom interpreting and
so on. Whereas research into conference interpreting is now well
established, the investigation of dialogue interpreting as a
professional activity is still in its infancy, despite some highly
promising publications in recent years. This special issue of The
Translator, guest-edited by one of the leading scholars in
translation studies, provides a forum for bringing together
separate strands within this developing field and should create an
impetus for further research. Viewing the interpreter as a
gatekeeper, coordinator and negotiator of meanings within a
three-way interaction, the descriptive studies included in this
volume focus on issues such as role-conflict, in-group loyalties,
participation status, relevance and the negotiation of face, thus
linking the observation of interpreting practice to pragmatic
constraints such as power, distance and face-threat and to semiotic
constraints such as genres and discourses as socio-textual
practices of particular cultural communities.
