The Interpreter's Companion

The Interpreter's Companion by Mikkelson, Holly. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781880594223.

The Interpreters Companion, Fourth Edition, is a collection of six separate Spanish-English/English-Spanish glossaries in a single convenient 6 x 9 paperback book. These glossaries contain terms that are both very useful to the court interpreter and, often, very difficult to find elsewhere--you definitely wont find them all together in any other single volume. The glossaries included in The Interpreters Companion are: Legal Terms, Traffic & Automotive Terms, Drug Terms, Weapons Terms, Medical Terms (including forensic serology and folk medicine terms), and Slang Terms. All six glossaries are bidirectional--you can look terms up in either English or Spanish. Both an English index and a Spanish index are provided, allowing you to look up unfamiliar terms even if you dont know which glossary to look in. Illustrations include extensive firearms and medical illustrations.
