Download or read book The Discourse of Court Interpreting written by Sandra Beatriz Hale and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the intricacies of court interpreting through a thorough analysis of the authentic discourse of the English-speaking participants, the Spanish-speaking witnesses and the interpreters. Written by a practitioner, educator and researcher, the book presents the reader with real issues that most court interpreters face during their work and shows through the results of careful research studies that interpreter's choices can have varying degrees of influence on the triadic exchange. It aims to raise the practitioners' awareness of the significance of their choices and attempts to provide a theoretical basis for interpreters to make informed decisions rather than intuitive ones. It also suggests solutions for common problems. The book highlights the complexities of court interpreting and argues for thorough training for practicing interpreters to improve their performance as well as for better understanding of their task from the legal profession. Although the data is drawn from Spanish-English cases, the main results can be extended to any language combination. The book is written in a clear, accessible language and is aimed at practicing interpreters, students and educators of interpreting, linguists and legal professionals.
Download or read book A Matter of Interpretation written by Queensland Accessing Interpreters Working Group and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a series of case studies in illustration, this report highlights the need for translating and interpreting services to ensure effective access to social services for people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds, especially in the areas of the safety and care of families and children, economic participation, education, housing, health and wellbeing, and disability services. It examines various situations in which the failure to provide interpreters for Queensland residents of CALD backgrounds have resulted in denial of their civil and legal rights. It puts forward a set of recommendations in the context of the Queensland Anti-Discrimination Act: that the Queensland Government adopt a whole-of-government commitment and approach to guarantee the provision and use of fee-free qualified interpreting services to State-funded community services in Queensland; that until a whole-of-government response is achieved, each department either reimburse interpreter costs or provide recurrent funding for qualified interpreters to all State-funded organisations that provide services to the public; and that the Queensland Government funds all State Government departments and State-funded community services to ensure the sustained development and implementation of cultural competence in their service provision.

The author, herself a practicing court interpreter, says: “The structure of the book follows the structure of the work as we do it.” The book is intended as a basic course book, as background reading for practicing court interpreters and for court officials who deal with interpreters.

Download or read book Doing Justice to Court Interpreting written by Miriam Shlesinger and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published as a Special Issue of "Interpreting" (10:1, 2008) and complemented with two articles published in "Interpreting" (12:1, 2010), this volume provides a panoramic view of the complex and uniquely constrained practice of court interpreting. In an array of empirical papers, the nine authors explore the potential of court interpreters to make or break the proceedings, from the perspectives of the minority language speaker and of the other participants. The volume offers thoughtful overviews of the tensions and conflicts typically associated with the practice of court interpreting. It looks at the attitudes of judicial authorities towards interpreting, and of interpreters towards the concept of a code of ethics. With further themes such as the interplay of different groups of "linguists" at the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal and the language rights of indigenous communities, it opens novel perspectives on the study of interpreting at the interface between the letter of the law and its implementation.

Download or read book Common Law in an Uncommon Courtroom written by Eva N.S. Ng and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes you into a common-law courtroom which is in no way similar to any other courtroom where common law is practised. This uniqueness is characterised, in particular, by the use of English as the trial language in a predominantly Cantonese-speaking society and by the presence of other bilinguals in court, thus presenting specific challenges for the interpreters who work in it, and at times rendering the interpretation service superfluous. This study, inter alia, problematises judges’ intervention in the court proceedings, Chinese witnesses testifying in English, as well as English-language trials heard by Chinese jurors. It demonstrates how the use of chuchotage proves to be inadequate and inappropriate in the Hong Kong courtroom, where interpreting in an English-language trial is arguably provided to cater for the need of the linguistic majority. This book is useful to interpreters, language educators, legal professionals, forensic linguists and policy makers alike.
