Introduction
Jemina Napier, Robert Skinner, and Sabine Braun
The twenty-first century generation has not known a world without
the Internet. Although access to the internet varies, depending on where
in the world you are, in Western countries at least, this statement gives
us insight into the way in which society now draws upon technology and
the internet for the purpose of communication. Using either the telephone
or internet networks, we can exchange audio or video messages, choose
to make real-time private point-to-point telephone or video calls, host
(audio and/or audio-video) conference calls, and use live-streaming plat-
forms to communicate with a public or private audience. It is clear that
digital telecommunication has revolutionized the way people, services,
and businesses communicate across the globe. We have come to expect
the immediate and rapid exchange of information, either using text-based
services, audio, or audio-video contact.
This same expectation is equally relevant when seeking to communi-
cate across languages. For some time, governments and businesses around
the world have been experimenting with the use of digital telecommuni-
cation as a means for increasing the supply of interpreting services to
meet the constant growing demand for cross-linguistic communication
in different contexts, initially through telephone-based remote interpret-
ing services, but increasingly through video-based services. Interpreting
is a specialized skill, and the demand for such services is on the rise, as
global migration and interaction increase. Thus, it is unsurprising that
there is an emerging international body of research that examines the
deployment of interpreting services via audio-video telecommunications
technology, in particular through internet-based platforms and through
different types of video link.
The chapters in this volume provide a snapshot of this rapidly growing
area of research and unify the body of knowledge collected from research
with spoken and signed language interpreting. The contributors to this
volume include leading scholars in spoken and signed language interpret-
ing studies who have conducted research on interpreting involving video
