A breath of fresh air. * Journal of Specialised Translation * This book is logically structured and easy to read. In addition to a comprehensive analysis of research literature in the field, Angermeyer provides excellent examples which are then thoroughly analyzed and put into the wider framework of previous research results. Angermeyer strikes a good balance between theory and examples, offering new insights for researchers, interpreter trainers, court interpreters and students of interpreting. In addition, important consequences are drawn that are of interest to the legal profession and decision-makers not only in the United States but also elsewhere. * Target *
