In this book, we aim to bring together seminal approaches and
state-of-the-art research on interpretation as a tribute to Brian
Harris' influential legacy to Translatology and Interpreting
Studies. Whenever Harris has sat down to reflect and write, he has
paved the way to new approaches and promising areas of research.
One of his most outstanding contributions is the notion of natural
translation, i.e., the idea that all humans share an intuitive
capacity to translate which is co-extensive with bilingualism at
any age, regardless of language proficiency. This contribution has
proved pivotal to translation and interpreting research. In a world
where most individuals speak more than one language, and therefore
millions of translational acts are performed every second by
untrained bilinguals, the concept of natural translation provides
the arena for T&I scholars to discuss issues directly related
to or stemming from it, such as bilingualism, language brokering,
community/public service and diplomatic interpreting, all of them
paramount to interpreting research and the future of the
profession.
