The third edition of Sign Language Interpreting has been revised to introduce sign language interpreters around the world to essential professional knowledge and contemporary best practice in the field. The authors are leading sign language interpreter educators, practitioners and researchers, and the book reflects their expertise by integrating a deep knowledge of practical skills and models for sign language interpreting across a range of contexts and locations. Key features of the book include: an updated overview of the worldwide sign language interpreting profession; an introduction to contemporary theoretical and applied aspects of interpreting practice; a discussion of the interpreting process, the role of the interpreter, and professionalism and ethics; insights into the challenges and strategies for working in particular settings; information about specialised interpreting skills; and questions at the end of each chapter that guide readers to reflect on the information and issues presented. This book is a valuable resource for sign language and interpreting students, interpreters entering the profession, as well as an international reference book for sign language interpreter practitioners, trainers and researchers. From the Foreword: "Students training to become signed language interpreters as well as experienced interpreters in continuing education courses have all praised it for being easy to read for non-native users of English ... The authors' own involvement in so many aspects of our field makes them important inspirations and role models for readers." - Anna-Lena Nilsson, Professor of Signed Language and Interpreting Studies, Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Sign Language Interpreting: Theory and Practice in Australia and New Zealand

The storytellers are old and young, and their lives reflect the diversity and commonality of Deaf experience. The pain acknowledged by a generation brought up forbidden to sign contrasts with the confidence of young people using New Zealand Sign Language as they assert 'Deaf pride'. Children growing up in Deaf families talk of their identity quite differently from those in hearing families. There is joy and sadness, confusion and resolution, regret and optimism.Several generation of Deaf voices speak here of their experience in the wider context of New Zealand life: they echo the research and new political consciousness that identifies the Deaf as a cultural-linguistic community. And their words hold a mirror to mainstream society's ill-informed perceptions of being Deaf.
