The Interpreting Handbook Unit 1 covers six topics to prepare professional interpreters to claim their rightful label of "Linguist".  Topics include Communication, Language, Language Use, Language Variation, Language Encoding Systems, and Pidgins, Creoles & Other Things. The book is designed to be both for students of interpreting in their introductory course and for working professionals who may not have received linguistic training even though they are competent interpreters.  This text contains numerous hyperlinks to web pages that are kept up to date with new information, practice material and sample quizzes.
