Reviews / Votes
The Handbook of Conference Interpreting provides a comprehensive overview of the profession at a critical juncture. Leading researchers, trainers and practitioners explore conference interpreting across regions and settings, and from many angles, including ethics, training, theory and history. The clear, jargon-free style and breadth of subject matter make it essential reading for all those with an interest in this exciting profession.Clare Donovan, Sorbonne Nouvelle University, France
This outstanding collection of contributions of every possible research scope on conference interpreting features many breathtaking chapters by most of the world's top researchers in the field. The editors chose, compiled and curated a book with an updated and comprehensive overview of this research domain that will soon become the first reference in this decade and possibly beyond.
