Klappentext

This book is a comprehensive guide to research methods in all types of interpreting for beginner researchers. It brings together the expertise of three well-established scholars in the fields of conference and community, spoken and signed language interpreting practice and research.
This new edition has been fully updated and revised throughout and includes two new chapters on choosing research design, and remote interpreting research. It features questions, prompts and exercises throughout to highlight key concepts, provoke thought and encourage reader interaction, and deals with research in both conference and community interpreting, offering a variety of perspectives on both. Core areas such as reading and analyzing research literature, practical issues in research and producing research reports are all covered.
Research Methods in Interpreting is an indispensable tool for students and researchers of interpreting as well as professionals and interpreter trainers.
