1.5 Interim conclusion and future prospects
Nearly twenty years after the application of CL to TS, CIS is still at a less advanced stage of development than CBTS. It is clear that one of the reasons for this is that CIS scholars have always had to compile their own corpora in view of the fact that they could not rely on ready-made corpora (McEnery et al. 2006: 71). If we look at more recent studies, we see that CIS scholars have continued to build their own corpora, but they tend not to keep them for themselves anymore. It is also important to add that simultaneous interpreting is not the only interpreting mode that is investigated anymore since studies on classic consecutive and short consecutive (dialogue) interpreting have been carried out to date as well. CIS projects do not only study European languages anymore, so we can hope to see more and more projects based on the investigation of non-European languages. It is also important to highlight that data collection and data processing have been made easier thanks to the opportunities offered by technology and also to the collaboration between researchers. Now the challenge lies in increasing trainees’ awareness and finding possible applications to interpreter education and professional practice. Some examples of corpus used in the interpreting curriculum already offer stimulating ways to increase trainees’ awareness of collocations, phraseology, language-specific Corpus-based interpreting studies page 22 features and terminological preparation. Small-scale and large-scale interpreting corpora, machine-readable or not, show a great potential as they do not only serve the purpose of one project, but allow the development of interpreter training and professional practice. In the near future, we will be witnessing the creation of corpora linked to different types of interpreting as a result of greater collaboration in data collection, transcription, annotation and sharing. |
