摘要
远程口译(DI)是指口译员通过信息和通信技术,在远程地点提供口译服务。从多语种外交会议和公共服务部门到全球商务谈判和直播节目等,DI 已被广泛应用于多种场合。虽然实证研究为 DI 提供了广泛的见解,但研究结果显示出一定程度的分散性和复杂性,表明需要进一步调查。本研究对 DI 的实证研究进行了系统回顾,目的是对当前的 DI 研究进行有据可依的综述,并预测未来潜在的研究方向。根据 PRISMA 准则,我们通过电子搜索和 "滚雪球 "程序确定了 39 篇有关 DI 的期刊论文。然后,我们根据由人口统计学、方法学和研究主题三大要素组成的框架对这些文章进行了编码和综合。我们确定了四个突出的研究主题:(1) 口译员的适应性;(2) 直接口译中的技术考虑因素;(3) 客户满意度;(4) 直接口译质量评估。在此基础上,我们讨论了未来直接口译研究的四个可能方向:现场口译研究的复制研究、不同环境下的研究、现代技术的融入以及不同语言组合的实验。
A systematic review of empirical distance interpreting research (2005–2021)
Distance interpreting (DI) refers to interpreting services provided by interpreters at a remote location, facilitated through information and communication technologies. DI has been widely employed in a multitude of contexts, ranging from multilingual diplomacy conferences and public service sectors to global business negotiations and live-broadcasting programs, among others. Although empirical studies have provided extensive insights into DI, the findings show a certain degree of dispersion and complexity, indicating a need for further investigation. This study set out to conduct a systematic review of the empirical DI research with the aim of providing an evidence-backed synthesis of the current DI research and predicting potential future research directions. Applying the PRISMA guidelines, we identified 39 journal articles on DI through an electronic search and a snowballing procedure. We then coded and synthesized these articles based on a framework comprising three main elements: demographics, methodology, and research themes. Four prominent research themes were identified: (1) interpreters' adaptation, (2) technical considerations in DI, (3) client satisfaction, and (4) DI quality assessment. Based on these, we discuss four possible directions for future DI research: replication studies of onsite interpreting research, research in diverse settings, incorporation of modern technology, and experiments on diverse language combinations.
