Signed language interpreting continues to evolve as a field of
research. Stages of professionalization, opportunities for
education and the availability of research vary tremendously among
different parts of the world. Overall there is continuing hunger
for empirically founded, theoretically sound accounts of signed
language interpreting to inform practice, pedagogy and the
development of the profession. This volume provides new insights
into current aspects of preparation, practice and performance of
signed language interpreting, drawing together contributions from
three continents. Contributors single out specific aspects of
relevance to the signed language interpreting profession. These
include preparation of interpreters through training, crucial for
the development of the profession, with emphasis on sound
educational programmes that cover the needs of service users and
the wide-ranging skills expected from practitioners. Resources,
such as terminology databases, are vital tools for interpreters to
prepare successfully for events. Practice oriented, empirical
investigations of strategies of interpreters are paramount not only
to increase theoretical understanding of interpreter performance,
but to provide reference points for practitioners and students.
Alongside tackling linguistic and pragmatic challenges,
interpreters also face the challenge of dealing with broader
issues, such as handling occupational stress, an aspect which has
so far received little attention in the field. At the same time,
fine-grained assessment mechanisms ensure the sustainability of
quality of performance. These and other issues are covered by the
eighteen contributors to this volume, ensuring that the collection
will be essential reading for academics, students and
practitioners.
