a| Introduction -- Law and language -- The bilingual American courtroom: a legal raison d'être -- Field work procedures -- The ethnography of the bilingual courtroom -- Interpreter-induced alternation in pragmatic blame avoidance mechanisms -- The intersection of testimony styles in interpreted judicial proceedings: pragmatics and the lengthening of testimony -- The impact of the interpreter on mock juror evaluations of witnesses -- An appellate view of interpreting issues -- Recent developments in the field of legal interpreting.

a| "[This] book draws on more than one hundred hours of audio recordings of Spanish/English court proceedings in federal, state, and municipal courts--along with a number of psycholinguistic experiments involving mock juror reactions to interpreted testimony--to present a systematic study of court interpreters that raises some alarming, vitally important concerns. Contrary to the assumption that interpreters do not affect the dynamics of court proceedings, [the author] shows that interpreters could potentially make the difference between a defendant being found guilty or not guilty of a crime. This second edition of [this title] includes a fully updated review of both theoretical and policy-oriented research relevant to the use of interpreters in legal settings, particularly from the standpoint of linguistic pragmatics. It provides new insights into interpreting in quasi-judicial, informal, and specialized judicial settings, such as small claims court, jails, and prisons; updates trends in interpreter certification and credentialing, both in the United States and abroad; explores remote interpreting (for example, by telephone) and interpreter training programs; looks at political trials and tribunals to add to our awareness of international perspectives on court interpreting; and expands upon cross-cultural issues. Also featuring a new preface ..., this second edition not only highlights the impact of the previous versions of [this book], but also draws attention to the continued need for critical study of interpreting in our ever diversifying society."-- c| Provided by publisher.
