Beschreibung
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.

Marta Kajzer-Wietrzny
Marta Kajzer-Wietrzny is an assistant professor in the Department of Translation Studies at the Faculty of English, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. Following her PhD dissertation on Interpreting universals and interpreting style (2012) she continues with empirical investigations of interpreted, translated and non-native language use e.g. within the TRINFO project carried out in part during a research stay at the University of Bologna in 2018-2019. She participated in two corpus-compilation initiatives making use of the European Parliament data: EPTIC (European Translation and Interpreting Corpus) and PINC (Polish Interpreting Corpus). At times she attempts to combine corpus methods with process research such as key-logging and eye-tracking, in particular while looking into the traits and the process of inter- and intralingual translation.
