论同声传译研究方法

A New Framework Model for Simultaneous Interpretation Studies

本文在模式化同声传译交际过程的基础上,重点论述同声传译研究的客体和内容。并结合双语研究的最新发现提出了以译员语义性记忆为核心、以其语义表征为转换媒介的研究框架模式。本文还结合描写性研究、实证性研究和基于同传语料的研究三大研究途径的最新进展,论述了同声传译研究所应遵循的一些具体策略和方法。

Inspired by recent findings in bilingualism research, this article re-defines the objects and topics of simultaneous interpretation studies in reference to a modulated account of the communicative processes involved, and proposes a framework model that centers on the interpreter’s semantic memory and relies on the intermediacy of semantic representation. Within such a framework, the author subjects three popularly adopted approaches to interpretation studies to a critical re-examination and recommends some alternative strategies and methods for researchers in this field.
