Someya, Yasumasa (Ed) (2017) Consecutive Notetaking and Interpreter Training, London/New York, Routledge, 247 pp. ISBN 978-1-138-65673-4, Review

The review refers to a collection comprising six chapters and edited by Someya, dealing with various aspects of consecutive interpreting and training from both the theoretical and practical points of view, with a special interest in the underlying cognitive processes. It is a cohesive collection of articles on consecutive interpreting and notetaking by five Japanese researchers and one European. It therefore offers not only an interesting overview of consecutive interpreting research in Japan, but also an opportunity to reflect on consecutive interpreting between two such distant languages, as Japanese (an Austroasiatic language) and English (a Germanic).
