Note-taking for Consecutive Interpreting: A Short Course is the
essential step-by-step guide to the skill of note-taking. The system,
made up of a range of tried and tested techniques, is simple to learn,
consistent and efficient. Each chapter presents a technique, with
examples, tasks and exercises. This second edition has been extensively
revised throughout, including:
- an updated chapter on speech analysis
- new chapters on comparisons and links
- revised example speeches and notes
- a summary of other authors' note-taking guidelines for comparison and
reference (Part III).
The author uses English throughout - explaining how and where to locate
material for other languages - thus providing a sound base for all those
working in the areas of conference interpreting and consecutive
interpreting in any language combination. This user-friendly guide is a
particularly valuable resource for student interpreters, professionals
looking to refresh their skills, and interpreter trainers looking for
innovative ways of approaching note-taking.
