Consecutive Interpreting cover

This book sheds light on the phenomenon of consecutive interpreting. It combines phenomenological and empirical analyses to build a communication theory of interpreting. The author begins by reviewing mainstream research on consecutive interpreting and then dissociates himself from it, conducting a three-tier analysis of interpreting data. He concludes by presenting an alternative theory of consecutive interpreting. As he makes clear from the outset, a new and combined methodology for consecutive interpreting needs to be constructed to satisfy both the relation of the phenomenon to experience as well as its social foundation. He also stresses the potential within the humanities for wider employment of the phenomenological empirical method. This book will appeal to students and scholars of linguistics, translation, phenomenology, social interaction and communication

“Consecutive Interpreting: An Interdisciplinary Study is a new contribution to the field of interpreting studies which is worth the read. … it is without any doubts a remarkable publication that leads the way to a new theoretical framework for interpreting studies. … since the proposed model provides a generally applicable framework for the analysis of oral translation in interaction, scholars interested in either of them will appreciate the read.” (Noelia Burdeus-Domingo, The Journal of Specialised Translation, Issue 33, January, 2020)
