The Bilingual Courtroom : Court Interpreters in the Judicial Process

Description: The Bilingual Courtroom : Court Interpreters in the Judicial Process. “Drawing on more than 100 hours of taped recordings of Spanish and English court proceedings – along with extensive psycholinguistic research, using translated testimony and mock juror’s – Susan Berg-Seligson seminal book presents a systematic study of court interpreting issues. Now with a new chapter, it continues to raise some alarming concerns around a crucial point; contrary to the assumption that interpreters do not affect the outcomes of court proceedings, they potentially can make the difference between a defendant being found guilty or innocent of a crime. This book is the winner of the British Association, for applied linguistics annual award for outstanding book in the field of applied linguistics. One evaluator stated, “perhaps the first comprehensive empirical study of its kind. It is an engineering work, which throws light on an aspect of court interpreting that has hardly been treated in any depth in previous publications” another reviewer stated this is “an essential text for the vigilant lawyer, eager to ensure that his or her client understands the proceedings and their consequences.” Note, this book is in very good condition. Some minor underlining with a black pen in addition to a clear address sticker on the front page (text of the address is not discernible) Very unique item and most definitely difficult to come by at this cost.
