Providing comprehensive coverage of both current research and practice in conference interpreting, The Routledge Handbook of Conference Interpreting covers core areas and cutting-edge developments, which have sprung up due to the spread of modern technologies and global English.

Consisting of 40 chapters divided into seven parts—Fundamentals, Settings, Regions, Professional issues, Training and education, Research perspectives and Recent developments—the Handbook focuses on the key areas of conference interpreting. This volume is unique in its approach to the field of conference interpreting as it covers not only research and teaching practice but also practical issues of the profession on all continents.

Bringing together over 70 researchers in the field from all over the world and with an introduction by the editors, this is essential reading for all researchers, ​trainers, students and professionals of conference interpreting.

The Handbook of Conference Interpreting provides a comprehensive overview of the profession at a critical juncture. Leading researchers, trainers and practitioners explore conference interpreting across regions and settings, and from many angles, including ethics, training, theory and history. The clear, jargon-free style and breadth of subject matter make it essential reading for all those with an interest in this exciting profession.
