Release Date: 2003
Speaking in Tongues, the second volume of the English in the World series, places the reader at the heart of investigations into the nature and process of translation in an internationalized scenario where: the consolidation of multilateral institutions and multinational corporations struggle between globalization and localization; the information and communication technologies are both the means to enhance translation productivity and the main source of jobs for professional translators; the new media and communication technologies provide a whole range of ways to interact with other, both in leisure and academic settings. The scope of the book ranges from Systemic Functional Linguistics to Discourse Analysis, from Intercultural Rhetoric to Poststructuralism. The collection of articles has been edited to recognise the range of perspectives looking to this field and is of direct interest both to any linguist, translator or other social scientist working in the study of interlingual communication and to those designing and buying translation techologies for porfessional purposes.
Bilingual Health Communication
Winner of the NCA Health Communication 2021 Distinguished Book Award. This book examines interpreter-mediated medical encounters and focuses primarily on the phenomenon of bilingual health care. It highlights the interactive and coordinated nature of interpreter-mediated interactions. Elaine Hsieh has put together over 15 hours of interpreter-mediated medical encounters, interview data with 26 interpreters from 17 different cultures/languages, 39 health care providers from 5 clinical specialties, and surveys of 293 providers from 5 clinical specialties. The depth and richness of the data allows for the presentation of a theoretical framework that is not restricted by language combination or clinical contexts. This will be the first book of its kind that includes not only interpreters’ perspectives but also the needs and perspectives of providers from various clinical specialties. Bilingual Health Communication presents an opportunity to lay out a new theoretical framework related to bilingual health care and connects the latest findings from multiple disciplines. This volume presents future research directions that promise development for both theory and practice in the field.
The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Technology
The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Technology provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of the dynamically evolving relationship between translation and technology. Divided into five parts, with an editor's introduction, this volume presents the perspectives of users of translation technologies, and of researchers concerned with issues arising from the increasing interdependency between translation and technology. The chapters in this Handbook tackle the advent of technologization at both a technical and a philosophical level, based on industry practice and academic research. Containing over 30 authoritative, cutting-edge chapters, this is an essential reference and resource for those studying and researching translation and technology. The volume will also be valuable for translators, computational linguists and developers of translation tools.
