Abstract:

The purpose of this book is to showcase a diverse set of directions in
empirical research on mediated discourse, reflecting on the state-of-the-art
and the increasing intersection between Corpus-based Interpreting Studies
(CBIS) and Corpus-based Translation Studies (CBTS). Undeniably, data from the
European Parliament (EP) offer a great opportunity for such research. Not only
does the institution provide a sizeable sample of oral debates held at the EP
together with their simultaneous interpretations into all languages of the
European Union. It also makes available written verbatim reports of the
original speeches, which used to be translated. From a methodological
perspective, EP materials thus guarantee a great degree of homogeneity, which
is particularly valuable in corpus studies, where data comparability is
frequently a challenge.

In this volume, progress is visible in both CBIS and CBTS. In interpreting, it
manifests itself notably in the availability of comprehensive transcription,
annotation and alignment systems. In translation, datasets are becoming
substantially richer in metadata, which allow for increasingly refined
multi-factorial analysis. At the crossroads between the two fields, intermodal
investigations bring to the fore what these mediation modes have in common and
how they differ. The volume is thus aimed in particular at Interpreting and
Translation scholars looking for new descriptive insights and methodological
approaches in the investigation of mediated discourse, but it may be also of
interest for (corpus) linguists analysing parliamentary discourse in general.
