Burak Özsöz: Interpreter-Mediated Discourse, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Interpreter mediated communication is not simply a matter of transferring linguistic content between languages. It is also shaped by power, institutional authority, identity, and the social contexts in which interaction takes place. "Interpreter Mediated Discourse: Critical Perspectives and Approaches" brings together critical discourse studies and dialogue interpreting to examine how these dimensions influence communication across languages. The volume introduces major theoretical perspectives, including Critical Discourse Analysis, Bourdieusian field theory, and multimodal analysis, and considers how they can be used to study interpreter mediated interaction. The discussion is supported by analyses of authentic encounters, including an in-depth clinical case study, showing how critical approaches can shed light on the ways interpreters and other participants construct meaning, negotiate positions, and respond to the institutional contexts in which they interact. The book will be of interest to researchers and students working in translation & interpreting studies, linguistics, and institutional communication.
