A Minicorpus-based Study Of Explicitation And Implicitation In Conference Consecutive Interpreting

The study of explicitation and implicitation in the translation text has been widely conducted. Scholars at home and abroad have launched a study of them with the help of corpora in interpreting. This dissertation is a minicorpus-based study of explicitation and implicitation in the press conference's consecutive interpreting for the purpose of doing a further research in the field of explicitation and implicitation in interpreting.On the basis of M.A.K. Halliday's systemic-functional linguistics theory, this thesis brings forth a new typology of explicitation and implicitation in consecutive interpreting with the help of a corpus, namely, the NPCCEIC. (Press Conference of National People's Congress Conference Interpreting Corpus) Above that, it tries to make a tentative study of the motivations of explicitation and implicitation from perspectives of the characteristics of interpreting itself, the habits of different interpreters, and the different linguistic norms of the Chinese and English languages.
