Abstract

In line with this issue’s main theme, traditions and innovation, the present review of Interpreting Studies (IS) focuses on what can be considered traditions in this very young (sub-)discipline, and attempts to identify trends which mark changes in them. Since this reviewer’s training and experience have been centered around conference interpreting, conference interpreting is the natural vantage point for his analysis. The data available for the analysis are probably rather representative for conference interpreting and make it possible to make some claims – the reviewer has been compiling conference interpreting data systematically for over 25 years – but the degree to which they are representative as regards other forms of interpreting is uncertain, which makes it difficult to make quantitative assessments of trends.
