Chinese and English are the world's largest languages, and the
number of interpreter-mediated interactions involving Chinese and
English speakers has increased exponentially over the last 30
years. This book presents and describes examples of Chinese-English
interpreting across a large number of settings: conference
interpreting; diplomatic interpreting; media interpreting; business
interpreting; police, legal and court interpreting; and healthcare
interpreting. Interpreters working in these fields face not only
the challenge of providing optimal inter-lingual transfer, but also
need to fully understand the discourse-pragmatic conventions of
both Chinese and English speakers. This innovative book provides an
overview of established and contemporary frameworks of
intercultural communication and applies these to a large sample of
Chinese-English interpreted interactions. The authors introduce the
Inter-Culturality Framework as a descriptive tool to identify and
describe the strategies and footings that interpreters adopt. This
book contains findings from detailed data with Chinese-English
interpreters as experts not only in inter-lingual exchange, but
cross-linguistic and intercultural communication. As such, it is a
detailed and authoritative guide for trainees as well as practising
Chinese-English interpreters.
