Title : Conference interpreting explained : translation practices explained Material Type: printed text Authors: Jones Roderick, Author Edition statement: Second Edition Publisher: New York : Routledge Publication Date: 2002 Pagination: 139 p. Size: 24 cm ISBN (or other code): 978-1-900650-57-1 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: Congresses and conventions-Translatings services
Translating and interpretingClass number: 418.02 Abstract: A mystery to outsiders, the practice of conference interpreting nevertheless involves techniques that are quite easily grasped if well explained. Roderick Jones adopts a very practical approach to both consecutive and simultaneous interpreting, providing detailed illustrations of note-taking, reformulation, the 'salami' technique, simplification, generalization, anticipation, and so on, including numerous tricks-of the-trade such as how to handle difficult speakers and how to interpret untranslatable jokes. Numerous examples are offered at every stage, all in English or 'Foreignized' English. Although primarily written as a practitioner's explanation rather than a theorist's speculation, the book includes notes on concepts such as units of meaning, translation units and discourse structure, as well as stances on more polemical issues such as the use of omission and the ethics of interpreting mistakes. It concludes with a comment on the pleasure of conference interpreting, as well as a glossary and suggested further readings. In all, it fills a major gap in English-language publications on interpreting, providing and introduction for beginners, a down to earth guide for students, and a handy compendium for teachers. The first edition of this book was published in the series Translation Theories Explained, at a time when St.Jerome had no separate series for books on practice as such. Happily, it has now found its rightful place in the series Translation Practices Explained. The few modifications with respect to the first edition include an updated reading list, and index, and guideline tasks for training sessions. The popularity of the book since its first appearance in 1998 suggests that little else needs to be touched.
