Description
This book is a collection of papers presented in Stockholm, at the fourth Critical Link conference. The book is a well-balanced mix of academic research and texts of a more practical, professional character.The introducing article explicitly addresses the issue of professionalism and how this has been dealt with in research on interpreting. The following two sections provide examples of recent research, applying various theoretical approaches. Section four reports on the development of current, more or less local standards. Section five raises issues of professional ideology. The final section tells about new training initiatives and programmes. All contributions were selected because of their relevance to the theme of professionalisation of interpreting in the community.
The volume is the fourth in a series, documenting the advance of a whole new empirical and professional field. It is of central interest for all people involved in this development, interpreters, researchers, trainers and others.

Just as the Critical Link conferences are a must for anyone interested in the many facets of community interpreting, the proceedings containing the most essential papers are a vital record that will enable us to document the past, present and future of this fascinating endeavour. -- Holly Mikkelson, in Interpreting Vol. 10:1 (2008)More details
