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.
