Reading Between the Signs
Intercultural Communication for Sign Language Interpreters, 3rd edition by Anna Mindess |
Reading Between the Signs, 3rd edition Used in interpreter training programs worldwide, Reading Between the Signs is a primary resource for students, working interpreters and other professionals. This important new edition retains practical techniques that enable interpreters to effectively communicate their consumers’ intent, while its timely discussion of the interpreter’s role is broadened by situating the debate over “Deaf heart” in a cultural context. "The third edition of Reading Between the Signs adds a terrific new chapter about Deaf heart and the tradition of Deaf Interpreters, and includes the reflections of several Deaf interpreters on their experiences working with Deaf consumers in a variety of settings, detailing ways we utilize cultural adjustments for more effective communication." --Linda Bove, Certified Deaf Interpreter, Actress, Consultant "A dazzling application of the tools of intercultural communication to illuminating Deaf and hearing cultures and their differences…. This is a book for everyone interested in Deaf culture.” --Harlan Lane, author of When the Mind Hears and The Mask of Benevolence |
