1st Edition
The Routledge Handbook of Interpreting and Cognition
The Routledge Handbook of Interpreting and Cognition provides an overview of the interrelated nature of interpreting and cognition. The handbook presents in-depth discussions of cognitive aspects of the task of interpreting and how researchers and practitioners alike have applied these findings to the practice of interpreting. With contributions from scholars working within multiple theoretical and methodological paradigms across various disciplines, this handbook allows readers to engage with current thinking on cognitive processes, behaviours, and activities in a single space. The volume traces the historical progression of cognitive inquiry into interpreting on various topics, highlighting methodological advances and possibilities that can further our understanding of this cross-language activity.
With an editor’s introduction and 25 chapters by scholars around the world, the handbook offers broad coverage of cognitive aspects of interpreting while identifying new avenues for future research. This is an essential reference for students and researchers of interpreting in translation and interpreting studies as well as those interested in cognitive aspects of interpreting in bilingualism, second-language acquisition, cognitive psychology, and beyond.
