Acknowledgments

We owe a huge ‘thank you’ to all the contributors to this volume for embarking on this project with us and putting up with our pressing requests and friendly reminders. We are also indebted to the two anonymous reviewers who have provided insightful comments on the first draft of the manuscript, as well as to the Translation Library’s editors and all the staff at John Benjamins for their accurate and patient coordinating work. Our heartfelt thanks go to Laurie Anderson and Guy Aston for providing crucial assistance in the revision work and to Laura Gavioli for honouring us with her foreword. Our final thanks go to the many students, users, and practitioners we have had the pleasure to work with, who, by discussing and facing with us the dilemmas dialogue interpreters are confronted with, have inspired this collection.
