Corpus-based Interpreting Studies: The state of the art. First Forlì International Workshop

Department of Interpreting and Translation, University of Bologna. Forlì, Italy, 7-8 May 2015

More than 15 years have passed since the late Miriam Shlesinger called upon the Interpreting Studies community to embrace corpus-based methodologies (Shlesinger 1998). Corpus-based methodologies enable researchers to collect empirical data in quantities large enough to make reliable generalizations about interpreter performance (as opposed to studies based on anecdotal evidence); moreover, they also make it possible to analyse relevant phenomena on greater data sets than is usually the case when “manual” methodologies are used.
