Table 5 shows that complex noun phrases are, by far, the most frequent category, as there are 265 NPs in the source speeches, representing 72.6% of the difficulties faced by interpreter trainees. The most frequent pattern of NPs is “A + N” (adjective + noun), with 113 occurrences, representing 42.64% of all NPs and 30.96% of the total number of difficulties. The second most frequent category is “N + prep + N” (noun + preposition + noun), with 71 occurrences, representing 26.79% of all NPs and 19.45% of the total number of difficulties. Finally, the third most frequent pattern of NPs is “N + subclause” (noun + subclause), with 46 occurrences, representing 17.36% of all NPs and 12.6% of all difficulties. The other subcategories of NPs will not be investigated in the present thesis as they are less frequent, representing, altogether, 13.2% of NPs (35 occurrences) and 9.59% of all difficulties. |
