“…Recent advances in speech-to-text technologies have led to considerable developments in corpus-based interpreting studies (Bendazzoli et al, 2018;Russo, 2019 Wang & Tang, 2020), along with their implementation in interpreting pedagogy 1 . For instance, Bertozzi (2018) describes a project involving an Italian-Spanish intermodal corpus (ANGLINTRAD) to investigate loanwords, resulting in an in-depth analysis of TI strategies for 241 English loanwords in the Italian subcorpus.…”

This article describes a corpus-based approach to specialized interpreter training, advocating for the compilation and use of ad hoc corpora to support trainers when developing training materials for specific domains. To do so, this article presents a case study to illustrate the utility and the subsequent analysis of an ad hoc corpus for specialized interpreting training, which is conceived of as a complement to current training practices for diplomatic interpreting. A specialized German language corpus of embassy speeches and interviews was compiled based on freely-available data and subsequently analyzed to identify genre- and domain-specific features of these types of addresses. By identifying discourse, text type, and specific terminology and expressions, trainers can develop domain- and genre-specific materials for training that align with the types of discourse that are likely to be encountered when working in these specialized domains. These materials can be used as part of courses in addition to self-study. This corpus-based approach to materials development can complement current training practices for specialized interpreting and enable authentic materials to be integrated into the interpreting classroom.

“…Corpus-based translation and interpreting studies traditionally provide data for analysis of the products: the compiled data (speeches of an international organisation, of the European Parliament, press conferences, texts of a given source, of a newspaper, etc.) are usually not precisely contextualised (or situated) (Russo et al, 2018). Some parameters can be used to retrieve certain reports or speeches, according to the topic, the author, the dates, the modes of interpreting and delivery (impromptu, read out, mixed), the political affiliation of the speaker, etc.…”

Context and genres are relevant concepts in Translation Studies, but paradoxically there is no consensus about their definition and how they challenge text, especially after the 1990s when technology began to impact on translation practices. It is surprising since new writings and textualisation of the interactions have developed concomitant with the dematerialisation of the context. In this study, we will trace the conceptual polysemy of “context”, first in linguistics (taken in a broad meaning) and then in Translation Studies. We will consider to what extent context and contextualisation are related, when translation is defined as a context-dependent meaning-making process. What does re-contextualisation imply, and how does context apply to (multimodal) text in a digital environment?
