BREAKING GROUND IN CORPUS-BASED INTERPRETING ST...

This book focuses on interpretation corpora which is one of the major subjects of research in
interpreting studies. It explores key issues such as corpus design and representativeness  as
well as aims and challenges of the application of corpus-linguistics principles and methods to
interpreting. Interpreting corpora represent a real challenge because of the very nature of the
items they are composed of. The oral dimension  the unavoidable stage of transcription and the
difficulties in relying on authentic data are only some of the aspects that make the creation
of interpreting corpora a complex  challenging and time-consuming activity. The book discusses
the theoretical problems and presents the working phases leading to the collection of five
different interpreting corpora. The variety of approaches adopted by each research team
highlights the fact that aims  interrogation methods and corpus design are intertwined. A
survey of the studies carried out so far using these five interpreting corpora identifies data
comparability as the core issue of corpus-based interpreting studies.
