Team Interpreting as Collaboration and Interdependence: A Return to Community Approach

Product description

This is the 2nd edition of Jack Hoza’s groundbreaking book, Team Interpreting as Collaboration and Interdependence: A Return to a Community Approach. This comprehensive volume provides practical strategies for how interpreters who work together in teams can get "in the zone" as a team and achieve their best work, investigates team interpreters' place (role-space) in interpreted interaction, and explores their place as linguistic and cultural brokers in the community. The book also proposes a new, expanded framework for team interpreting. This framework posits that interpreter teams not only work in collaboration (shared cooperation) and interdependence (reliance on each other), but that teams are most successful when they use a community approach to interpreting and teaming -- an approach that has existed in the Deaf community for many years and yet has been largely unrecognized. Overall, this volume seeks to provide the reader with a roadmap to an enhanced view of team interpreting that includes participants as part of the team and highlights what is needed to return to a community approach to team interpreting.
