Description
“The book has demonstrated that researchers have successfully made way in CIS, putting the fast-developing research field on a right track that may finally enable CIS researchers to discover the undiscoverable and to use corpus-based findings for practical ends. Undoubtedly, after Straniero Sergio and Falbo (2012), the current volume represents another authoritative reference on CIS, and is therefore a must read for interpreting students, trainers, researchers and other stakeholders interested in CIS.” (Chao Han, FORUM International Journal of Interpretation, Vol. 18 (1), 2020)
“The volume presents a Compilation of state-of-the-art research in CIS over the past decade and is therefore an essential resource for both established researchers and postgraduate candidates. … the main purpose of this book is to showcase some of the larger existing corpora, and most authors rise to this task.” (EllaWehrmeyer, Interpreting, Vol. 21 (1), 2019)
