Aprašymas

The Routledge Handbook of Chinese Sign Language Interpreting and Translation (CSLT) provides the first comprehensive scholarly exploration of sign language interpreting and translation in China, tracing the profession's development from informal workplace communication in mid-20th century welfare factories to contemporary challenges in establishing academic programs, professional standards, and specialized services across healthcare, legal, educational, and media sectors.

Featuring 22 chapters by leading experts, it integrates historical oral histories, empirical research, and critical analyses of interpreter education, ethics, professional identity, and the dynamics of Children of Deaf Adults (CODA). It examines key theoretical issues, including cross-modal translation between spoken Chinese and visual-spatial Chinese Sign Language (CSL) and the positioning of CSL interpreting within Translation Studies versus Special Education. Utilizing diverse methodologies such as qualitative interviews, psycholinguistics, discourse analysis, and sociological frameworks, the handbook advances both practical and theoretical understanding of signed language interpreting and translation in non-Western contexts.

An essential Handbook for scholars, educators, and practitioners, it underscores China's professionalization journey and its global significance in addressing accessibility for Deaf communities.
