Au cours des deux dernières décennies, on note une forte croissance de la recherche sur l'interprétation en langue chinoise (RIC), comme en témoigne le nombre d'articles publiés. Le présent article adopte une approche scientométrique pour analyser la production, les thèmes et les influences théoriques de ces articles au fil du temps. Les auteurs, les universités et les régions les plus productifs, de même que les formes de collaboration, ont été analysés afin de permettre une compréhension plus approfondie du paysage de la RIC. Il apparaît que la ‘culture’ globale de la discipline est restée immuable : aucune de ses influences théoriques et thèmes n’est devenu plus populaire au fil du temps. Cependant, en matière de collaboration entre chercheurs et de politique universitaire, des limites persistent et font obstacle à la réalisation de son potentiel de croissance.
