Abstract

In the late 1990s, corpus linguistics began to serve as an important research method in interpreting studies. But after twenty-year development, corpus-based interpreting studies remain at an infant stage compared with corpus-based translation studies, mainly due to the limitation of availability of interpreting corpora. This thesis begins with a brief review of corpus linguistics and the introduction of some major interpreting corpora; then it focuses on the corpus design, representativeness; at last it discusses the detailed steps of corpus construction with an example of a self-built Chinese-English consecutive interpreting corpus of professional interpreters.
