Ethics in Community Interpreting vs. Ethics in Conference Interpreting

-

Summary/Abstract: Two major sub-fields of interpreting studies, namely community interpreting and conference interpreting, illustrate significant differences when it comes to the practice itself, the conduct of professionals, the role of the interpreter and the ethics of the activity.

While acknowledgedly lagging behind, ethics in conference interpreting has also started to grow more aware of moral intricacies and dilemmas.
