Translation and Interpretation Studies Special Edited Issue

Translation and Interpreting Studies (John Benjamins) accepted proposals for a special thematic issue on signed-language interpretation and translation, to be published in April 2018.

The editors brought together papers that address critical issues in the linguistic analysis of interpretations and translations that occur between a signed language and spoken or written language.

The volume included data-driven papers on the spectrum between a microanalysis of one specific lexical item to the examination of a fully interpreted or translated discourse. Papers could take a descriptive, applied, or theoretical approach to interpreting and translation a signed language.

The editors encouraged a broad range of methodological approaches and theoretical frameworks, including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods.
