Pöchhacker Franz. Introducing Interpreting Studies

Second edition. — Routledge, 2016. — xii + 268 p. — ISBN 978-1-3156-4957-3.This thoroughly revised, restructured and updated edition of Franz Pöchhacker’s trusted textbook introduces students, researchers and practitioners to the fast-developing discipline of Interpreting Studies.
Written by a leading researcher in the field, Introducing Interpreting Studies covers interpreting in all its varied forms, from international conference to community-based settings, in both spoken and signed modalities. The book first guides the reader through the evolution of the field, reviewing influential concepts, models and methodological approaches. It then presents the main areas of research on interpreting, and identifies present and future trends in Interpreting Studies.
Introducing Interpreting Studies gives a comprehensive overview of the field and offers orientation to those undertaking research of their own. Chapter summaries, guides to the main points covered, and suggestions for further reading make this an eminently practical and user-friendly textbook. The book is complemented by The Interpreting Studies Reader (Routledge, 2002), a collection of seminal contributions to research in Interpreting Studies, and by the comprehensive Routledge Encyclopedia of Interpreting Studies (Routledge, 2015).
The updated edition features new chapters on history, discourse, and technology, and extensive new material on such topics as working memory, participation, remote interpreting and automation. With an enhanced structure and additional content, Introducing Interpreting Studies remains the
essential textbook for all students and researchers in Interpreting Studies.(Re-)Introducing Introducing
