Abstract
Through the methods of literature review and content analysis of mostly journal articles (and occasionally other types of literature when necessary), this paper is the first to examine and review the 40 years of development in interpreting research in China (Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan all included) since the adoption of the policy of “reform and opening up” in 1978. It divides these 40 years of interpreting research in China into three periods: a stage of initial development (1978–1995), a stage of relatively quick development (1996–2005) and a stage of vigorous growth (2006–2018). Based on a panoramic view of the general picture, the paper further investigates the popular research topics, major research methods and main characteristics of each period through a combined quantitative and qualitative approach. Thus, it also showcases the overall and period-specific characteristics of how interpreting research has progressed in China, as well as the quality and quantity of the respective research results that were produced in the past 4 decades. This is followed by an analysis of the problems and insufficiencies that exist in China’s interpreting studies at present. In so doing, the article is finally able to provide advice for future interpreting research in China.
Résumé
Grâce aux méthodes d’examen de la littérature et d’analyse de contenu d’articles, pour la plupart tirés de revues (et parfois d’autres types de documentation si nécessaire), cet article est le premier à examiner et à passer en revue les 40 ans d’évolution de la recherche en interprétation en Chine (y compris en Chine continentale, à Hong Kong, Macao et Taïwan), depuis l’adoption de la politique « de réforme et d’ouverture » en 1978. Il divise ces 40 années de recherche en interprétation en Chine en trois périodes : un stade de développement initial (1978–1995), un stade de développement relativement rapide (1996–2005) et un stade de croissance rapide (2006–2018). Sur la base d’une vue panoramique de la situation générale, l’article examine plus en détail les thèmes de recherche populaires, les principales méthodes de recherche et les principales caractéristiques de chaque période, par le biais d’une approche quantitative et qualitative combinée. Ainsi, il met également en évidence les caractéristiques générales et les caractéristiques propres à la période de la façon dont la recherche en interprétation a progressé en Chine, ainsi que la qualité et la quantité des résultats de recherche respectifs, qui ont été produits au cours des quatre dernières décennies. Cette étape est suivie d’une analyse des problèmes et des lacunes qui existent actuellement dans les études sur l’interprétation en Chine. De ce fait, l’article est enfin en mesure d’apporter des conseils pour de futures recherches en interprétation en Chine.
