Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024

Serving as a pioneering work, this volume offers a systematic and comprehensive exploration of the integration between Audio Description (AD) and interpreting studies. It not only sheds new light on the emerging field of AD research, but also enriches the more established discipline of interpreting studies. This volume represents an interdisciplinary endeavor to approach AD as a quasi-interpreting activity, investigating the reciprocal significance of AD and interpreting in terms of research, practice, and training. Offering eight innovative chapters written by distinguished scholars and practitioners from Europe, the USA, Australia, and Greater China specializing in AD and interpreting studies, the content encompasses a wide range of topics. These include the similarities and differences between AD and interpreting, AD practice informed by interpreting approaches, interpreter training informed by AD insights, and the utilization of interpreting research methodologies in the study of AD. Audio Description and Interpreting Studies is a valuable resource for students, scholars, and practitioners in translation and interpreting studies, particularly those with an interest in audiovisual translation (AVT) and accessible communication.
