This volume focuses on cultural differences between the Deaf and hearing worlds, for American Sign Language interpreters and student interpreters. The author examines common situations that arise in medical, business, and educational settings (omitting legal situations), and the significance of intercultural communication and cultural influence. The second section focuses on specific scenarios and how cultural factors get played out, what the role of interpreters should be, techniques for making cultural adjustments, and video interpreting. This edition contains new chapters on changes in technology, especially video relay services, and has new and expanded sections on multicultural communities within the Deaf world. It also includes discussions of politeness and non-manual markers, indirect vs. direct communication, and the linguistic necessity of back-channel feedback.
