It goes without saying that academic referencing is paramount in helping a reader identify important resources that would otherwise remain unexplored. Yet it may sometimes be employed deceitfully to substantiate weak or irrelevant points and perhaps show deference to some specific milieus, often the ones to which the author belongs.

Welcome to my Weblog. I'm a freelance conference interpreter from Rome, Italy. My working languages are: Italian (A) English (Bsim) French (C) and my main fields of expertise are the information and communication technologies and other technical domains. In the past seventeen years of work as an interpreter I have also been exposed to a variety of other less technical topics ranging from social sciences to politics, education and interpreting for the media.
