This new collection examines several facets of signed language
interpreting. Claudia Angelelli's study confirms that conference,
courtroom, and medical interpretation can no longer be seen as a
two-party conversation with an "invisible" interpreter, but as a
three-party conversation in which the interpreter plays an active
role. Laura M. Sanheim defines different turn-taking elements in a
medical setting as two overlapping conversations, one between the
patient and the interpreter and the other between the interpreter
and the medical professional. In her analysis of discourse at a
Deaf revival service, Mary Ann Richey demonstrates how Deaf
presenters and audiences interact even in formal settings, creating
special challenges for interpreters. Jemina Napier shares her
findings on the nature and occurrence of omissions by interpreters
in Australian Sign Language and English exchanges. Elizabeth
Winston and Christine Monikowski desire different strategies used
by interpreters to indicate topic shifts when interpreting into
American Sign Language and when transliterating. The study
concludes with Bruce Sofinski's analysis of nonmanual elements used
by interpreters in sign language transliteration.
