With the emergence of English as a dominant language
in the globalization of communicative practices, interpreting plays
a major role worldwide in various interlinguistic/cultural settings
over a myriad of domain-specific genres. This volume offers a collection
of research papers on interpreting across a range of scenarios covering
several language combinations with English. It offers multiple research
perspectives encompassing diverse interpreting modes within both
conference and public service settings, including new emerging areas
in Interpreting Studies such as media, remote and sign language
interpreting. Each chapter investigates a genre or subgenre associated
with a specific field of discourse: business, literature, law, medicine,
media, defence, politics, and sport. The variety of topics investigated
is broad and the diversity of methodological approaches wide, offering
insight into rhetorical, microlinguistic and terminological features,
drawing upon text linguistics, discourse and conversation analysis,
corpus linguistics and studies on quality.
