Liaison Interpreting A Handbook

"This handbook is the first to set out the basic principles and practices of liaison interpreting, which is the style of interpreting now commonly used in business, law, medicine, welfare and administration. Liaison interpreting - as distinct from conference interpreting, which has long dealt with international contacts in formal settings - is a practical response to the growing need in many countries for mainstream institutions, professions and business communities to communicate with diverse immigrant and indigenous populations." -back cover.
