Legal Translation and Court Interpreting: Ethical Values, Quality, Competence Training

It offers insights into new research on • language policies and linguistic rights in multilingual communities • the role of the interpreter • accreditation of legal translators and interpreters • translator and interpreter education in multiple countries and • approaches to terms and tools for legal settings. The authors explore familiar problems with a view to developing new approaches to language justice by learning from researchers, trainers, practitioners and po...
Enhancing and analysing Project Communication
Different cultures and languages make web-based communication among the members of international research projects often complex. Focussing on frequently neglected internal communication, this cumulative PhD thesis seeks to present methods from applied LSP research on a concrete case study – a research project from the area of Public Health. Aiming to establish a winwin situation between systematic approaches and communication optimisation, the case study is also used to verify known models. Systematic approaches can be beneficial for enhancing project communication, if they are part of a circle of theoria cum praxi. The thesis closes with appeals to linguists, project leaders and funding agencies for improving project communication as well as the involvement of applied linguistics in future.

Ethics in Professional and Corporate Discourse
Ethics. Whether explicit or implicit, it plays a key role in our lives, guiding our decisions and shaping our view of what the world – including the world of business – is or ought to be like. This volume provides a thorough description of the language that is used to encode ethics, to deal with ethical issues, and to express ethical values in business and professional discourses. It explores the relationship between ethics and ethos in a variety of professional and corporate texts and genres, and investigates the role and positioning of ethics in today’s cultural environment, shedding light on how it is negotiated vis-à-vis other values in the pursuit of business and professional goals. Thanks to its rigorous linguistic approach, the analysis fills a significant gap in the burgeoning scholarship on ethics in discourse, laying the ground for a better understanding of what ethical pronouncements do, linguistically and pragmatically.
New Challenges for Research on Language for Special Purposes
This anthology consists of selected papers presented by European scholars at the 21st LSP-Conference 2017 on Interdisciplinary knowledge-making: challenges for LSP-research, held at NHH Norwegian School of Economics in Bergen, Norway. The multifarious aspects of LSP-research publication cover issues on terms and terminology, LSP-texts from a text linguistic approach, training in LSP-settings and translation of LSPtexts. The volume gives an up-to-date selection of the ongoing research endeavours in specialised communication in subject fields ranging from maritime accidents over healthcare and financial accounting to climate change.
The Digital Scholar: Academic Communication in Multimedia Environment
The forms and genres of academic communication have changed considerably over the past decades – from standardised ways of producing texts on/for paper to a (less?) standardised way of communication in Web 2.0. Published papers are now available to a greater number of readers, interaction among colleagues can take place in real time via written, audio or visual formats, and it has become much more comfortable for students as well as for those outside the scientific community to access academic information and to contact its authors. It seems, however, that many aspects of academic communication have not yet changed, and its participants – either in the „old“ or in the „new“ generation – are ill-equipped to work within the multimedia context. This volume, therefore, takes a look at academic communication in the multimedia environment, in order to throw light on how these processes are linked to new multimedia affordances, while at the same time encapsulating old genre conventions and participant interaction with the medium.
Contrastive Analysis of News Text Types in Russian, British and American Business Online and Print Media
This book is devoted to the analysis of cross-media and cross-cultural peculiarities of Russian, British and American media discourse from the intertextual perspective. The study of a complex variety of intertextual links which exist between texts and genres is a contemporary aspect in the theory of intertextuality. There are numerous theoretical approaches in the study of intertextuality, but there is a lack of an empirically profound framework for its analysis across many disciplines. An interdisciplinary approach to the study of intertextuality is a necessary step to investigate this phenomenon comprehensively. This book offers an alternative approach to the study of intertextuality, singling out intra-textual, textual and inter-genre levels on which this phenomenon comes to the fore.
Sprache und Medizin
Mit Geleitworten von Bundesgesundheitsminister Hermann Gröhe, Prof. Dr. Dietrich Grönemeyer und Dr. Eckart von Hirschhausen Medizin und Sprache – kaum zwei Bereiche sind so eng miteinander verwoben wie diese beiden. Das Sprechen ‚in‘ der Medizin und das Sprechen ‚über‘ die Medizin sind seit jeher für die Menschen von Bedeutung. Dieser Sammelband gibt einen breiten Überblick über die Interessen, Perspektiven und Ansätze verschiedenster Disziplinen und Institutionen auf das Themenfeld der Sprache und Kommunikation im medizinischen Umfeld. Dabei stehen Fragen der Wirksamkeit und Heilsamkeit von Sprache ebenso im Fokus wie literaturwissenschaftliche und sprachhistorische Aspekte sowie ethisch-moralische Probleme und Herausforderungen. Die gesammelten Beiträge bilden aktuelle Forschungsansätze und -traditionen zahlreicher Wissenschaften ab, darunter Medizin, Sprachwissenschaft (einschließlich der Sprachdidaktik), Medizingeschichte, Literaturwissenschaft, Medienwissenschaft, Rechtswissenschaft und Philosophie.
