1.2 CIS: a cottage industry
Today, CIS is still considered “a cottage industry” (Setton, 2011: 34), which means that CIS is more “limited” (Bendazzoli, 2018: 2) compared to CTS research, especially due to small corpus size. However, corpus-based research in the field has been carried out quite a lot over the last twenty years. The volume of authentic conference interpretation recorded and/or transcribed and analysed since the beginnings of interpreting research is rather modest (Pöchhacker, 1994; Kalina, 1998; Monacelli, 2005; Bendazzoli, 2010). Yet, many small samples have been collected and recorded in experimental conditions and many researchers have studied student productions which are much easier to obtain than professional interpretations (Ding et al., 2005). Recent developments, such as new software, access to larger and quality corpora, and new techniques for transcription and analysis enhance the data but the interpreting studies community still struggles to analyse and understand the practice of interpreting, because they only have primitive theoretical baggage at their disposal, which mainly consists of categories, assumptions and models which Corpus-based interpreting studies page 13 were inherited from descriptive linguistics and cognitive psychology (Setton 2011: 33). Furthermore, interpreting research is mostly concerned with cognitive and psycholinguistic processes and it is really difficult to model the process if factors like live context or features of live speech, such as prosody, are not taken into consideration. Yet, research methods and doctrine have been a source of debate since the beginnings. On the one hand, the Paris school (Seleskovitch, 1975; Lederer, 1981; Donovan, 1990; Laplace, 1994 in Setton, 2011) insists on the fact that the only valid basis for research is the experience and observations of professionals. From the 1980s onwards, that doctrine was harshly challenged on methodological grounds and controlled experimental studies took the advantage over corpus- intensive research. In the 1990s, CIS had a more sociological paradigm pursued by researchers based in Central Europe and Scandinavia (Pöchhacker, 1994; Kalina, 1998). As CIS was still focused on more controlled experimental studies, it was hard to obtain substantial authentic data. But since the 21 st century and thanks to the availability of large multilingual datasets from the European Parliament and to the recent developments mentioned above, CIS is entering a new era.
