Technology in interpreter education and training : a structured set of proposals
No full textTechnology is coming to interpreting but are we preparing students and professionals well enough to the technological turn? This chapter argues in favour of a structured academic approach to the integration of interpreting technology in education and training. The approach is based on a definition of technological competence based on knowledge, skills, and personal, social and methodological abilities. It demonstrates how training programmes can empower trainees, promote digital equality and an ethical stance in the face of technological advances

Get PDFCorpus-based interpreting studies : a booming research field
Get PDFCorpus-based interpreting research has gained considerable momentum over the last few years. Indeed, an increasing number of scholars have developed corpora using data from different settings or taken advantage of existing ones. After refining the methodology to address the many challenges involved in the corpus-based approach, investigations carried out within this research paradigm are providing insightful observations about the interpreting process and product, including comparisons between different Translation modes, that is oral interpretation and written translation. In addition, corpora are now being developed and used as educational resources, thus giving trainee interpreters access to principled sets of materials for targeted practice as well as opportunities to reflect upon the skills they are acquiring.
This special issue presents novel investigations that are pushing corpus-based interpreting research to the next level. Some of these are based on, or are deeply inspired by, existing Corpus-based Interpreting Studies (CIS) projects, such as the pioneering European Parliament Interpreting Corpus (EPIC), while others endeavor to embrace other types of interpreting from more sensitive communicative settings, such as health care and court interpreting.
The aim of this special issue is to provide a forum to share the results obtained and the efforts being made in a booming research field, which, as editors, we believe deserves even further support and dissemination

The contributions are organized into two main sections relating to two complementary research areas: interpreting practice and interpreter training. In Section 1 (developing and using corpora to study interpreting) all the papers focus on simultaneous interpreting, with the exception of the first one, which concerns telephone interpreting (Castagnoli/Niemants). Specifically, three papers are based on European Parliament simultaneous interpreting data: one drawing on EPIC (Ghiselli), one looking at a language combination not present in EPIC, i.e. English <> Portuguese (Correia) and one supplementing EPIC with written translations so that it can be analyzed as an intermodal corpus (Morselli). One more contribution is about simultaneous interpreting but it draws on data from various existing corpora (Cresswell). In section 2 (developing and using corpora to train interpreters), one more study looks at intermodality with data (partly) from the EP but with an educational target in mind (Bertozzi). The last paper in this section shows how leveraging on corpora it is possible to build additional resources to improve court interpreting (Orozco)

'Bij ons gaat dat zo'. Empirische inzichten over aangehaalde cultuurverschillen tijdens getolkte politieverhoren in schijnrelatieprocedures in Belgi\ueb
No full textDe vraag die ons in deze bijdrage bezighoudt, is hoe cultuurverschillen aan bod komen in getolkte politieverhoren in Belgische schijnhuwelijkprocedures. Uit voorgaand onderzoek (D’hondt 2009) is bekend dat etnische en culturele achtergronden in gerechtelijke contexten als verschoningsgrond kunnen worden aangehaald, maar ook als motief in een gepercipieerde discriminatie. De casussen die hier besproken worden, zijn complex. Ze zijn meertalig en omvatten drie actoren: de verhoorder, de verhoorde en de tolk. De geobserveerde praktijken zijn heel verscheiden, maar niettemin vinden we herkenbare patronen. Het cultuurverschil wordt aangehaald door alle actoren, maar het meest door de verhoorde. Tolken brengen het cultuurverschil zelden aan, maar ze dikken het soms aan als het door de verhoorde wordt aangebracht. Politie-inspecteurs opperen soms spontaan een mogelijk cultuurverschil als verschoningsgrond. Een duidelijk patroon dat naar voren komt, is dat de welwillendheid van de inspecteur een cruciale rol speelt bij de interactie over dit onderwerp. Cultuurverschillen halen zelden het proces- verbaal. Ze worden ofwel niet opgenomen ofwel zodanig van culturele kenmerken ontdaan dat ze niet meer als argument herkenbaar zijn
Foreword
No full textThe Preface introduces the objective and plan of this volume which serves a dual purpose. On the one hand, it aims at promoting the understanding of the interpretation process and product based not on anecdotal observations or small-size case-studies, but on comparatively large datasets of professional interpretations mostly stored and queried according to standard corpus linguistics methodologies. The volume showcases descriptions of and studies on major interpreting corpora available to date: the EPIC Corpus and its off-springs EPTIC (including also translations) developed at the University of Bologna, EPICG from the University of Ghent (Belgium) and the TIC Corpus from the University of Poznán (Poland); the 2249i Corpus, the DIRSI Corpus and the IMITES Corpus, again from the University of Bologna (Italy); the CorIT Corpus from the University of Trieste (Italy); the FOOTIE Corpus created at UNINT University in Rome (Italy); the NAIST Corpus from the Nara Institute of Science and Technology (Japan) and the CEIPPC Corpus, which was built at the Guangdong University of Foreign Studies (China). On the other hand, the volume is also intended as a renewed call (after Miriam Shlesinger’s first call in 1998) to the research community to further develop the field of corpus-based interpreting studies by offering scholars more corpus-based data and methodologies to compile their own corpora according to their research designs
