<p>Jack Hoza's groundbreaking book, Team Interpreting as Collaboration and Interdependence, is an in depth exploration of team interpreting. The main premise of the book is that the interpreting field is beginning to usher in a new paradigm that is replacing the monitoring view of team interpreting. Team Interpreting, which is based on two studies, reveals the great potential of team members working together on all aspects of interpreting assignments while tackling critical questions.</p>

<p>The general stereotype regarding interaction between American Sign Language and English is a model of oversimplification: ASL signers are direct and English speakers are indirect. Jack Hoza’s study <i>It’s Not What You Sign, It’s How You Sign It: Politeness in American Sign Language</i> upends this common impression through an in-depth comparison of the communication styles between these two language communities. Hoza investigates relevant social variables in specific contexts and explores the particular linguistic strategies ASL signers and English speakers employ when they interact in these contexts.<br><br><i>It’s Not What You Sign, It’s How You Sign It</i> is framed within politeness theory, an apt model to determine various interpretations of what speakers or signers mean in respect to the form of that which they say or sign. The variations reveal how linguistic and cultural differences intersect in ways that are often misinterpreted or overlooked in cross-cultural communication. To clarify these cross-linguistic differences, this volume explores two primary types of politeness and the linguistic strategies used by English speakers and ASL signers to express politeness concerns in face-to-face interaction. Hoza’s final analysis leads to a better understanding of the rich complexity of the linguistic choices of these language groups.</p>

<p>Successful interpretation can feel seamless, an intuitive and efficient translation of meaning from one signed or spoken language to another. Yet the process of interpretation is actually quite complex and relies upon myriad components ranging from preparation to experience to honed judgment. Interpreting in the zone, instinctively and confidently, is an energizing, encompassing experience that results in great satisfaction and top performance—but what does it take to get there?<br>        Jack Hoza’s newest research examines the components that enable interpreters to perform successfully, looking at literature in interpretation, cognitive science, education, psychology, and neuroscience, as well as reviewing the results of two qualitative studies he conducted. He seeks to uncover what it means to interpret in the zone by understanding exactly how the brain works in interpretation scenarios. He explores a range of dichotomies that influence interpretation outcomes, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Intuition vs. rational thought</li>
<li>Left brain vs. right brain</li>
<li>Explicit vs. implicit learning</li>
<li>Novice vs. master</li>
<li>Spoken vs. signed languages</li>
<li>Emotion vs. reasoning</li>
</ul>       Cognitive processes such as perception, short-term memory, and reflexivity are strong factors in driving successful interpretation and are explored along with habits, behaviors, and learned strategies that can help or hinder interpretation skills. Hoza also considers the importance of professional development and collaboration with other practitioners in order to continually hone expertise.<br><i>Interpreting in the Zone</i> shows that cognitive research can help us better understand the intricacies of the interpreting process and has implications for how to approach the interpreting task. This resource will be of value to both the interpreter-in-training as well as the seasoned practitioner.
