Reviews

This book addresses numerous important issues in Arabic-English translation and interpreting and is an insightful and informative collection. Thus, this work on Arabic translation significantly enriches the understanding of the general principles and problems of Arabic translation and interpreting. The book sheds new light on translation topics and is to be welcomed.

This collection is circumspectly and creatively presented. It clearly discusses translation and interpreting in the Arab world at the practical and teaching levels, placing special emphasis on the professional and innovative teaching methods and resources emanating from real translation practices into Arabic; it provides a new look at how research on Arabic translation and interpreting is inextricably tied up with how the Arab and Western cultures deal and shape one another.

New Insights into Arabic Translation and Interpreting is a welcome addition to the growing body of literature which focuses on translation from and into Arabic. The book addresses issues of translation curricula and pedagogy in the Arab world, and discusses actual translation and interpreting practices, including hitherto underexplored modes of community interpreting.
