About the book
Since there has been a lot of interest in writing on the methodologies of interpreters in the modern era, the author saw it useful to follow the most prominent contemporary writings on the methodologies of interpreters that were not restricted to a particular interpreter or region, and to study them in an analytical and comparative way, revealing the methodology that these writings followed, through a study of the history of contemporary writing on the methodologies of interpreters, its phases, trends, features, and relationships, and through a comparison between the writings on the components of the interpreter’s methodology, and on the ways of extracting methodologies, then studying the writings in terms of establishing the features of writing on the methodologies of interpreters, and the manifestations of imitation in them, then exploring the prospects for developing writing on the methodologies of interpreters, and a general analysis of the most prominent books written on it.
