This book explores the dominant route in English-Chinese and Chinese-English professional consecutive interpretations, presenting a corpus-assisted product study to analyze interpreting processing patterns of culture-specific items. It proposes four factors to account for differences in the dominant route, including linguistic variables, type of CSI, language direction, and extra-linguistic variables.

This book delves into a contentious topic surrounding SL-TL transfer in the translation process, specifically addressing the question of whether form-based processing or meaning-based processing is the dominant route in English-Chinese and Chinese-English professional consecutive interpretations. Through a corpus-assisted product study, the author analyzes the interpreting processing patterns of culture-specific items (CSIs), shedding light on the varying dominant routes in English vs. Chinese consecutive interpreting under different circumstances. Four factors are proposed to account for these differences: linguistic variables (such as grammatical complexity of the unit), type of CSI, language direction, and extra-linguistic variables (such as multilateral or bilateral settings).

In summary, this book offers a comprehensive and systematic introduction to translation process research, utilizing a corpus-assisted approach, which is particularly valuable for readers interested in this field but are unable to employ neuroscientific measures. The study provides valuable insights into the complexities of SL-TL transfer and offers practical implications for interpreters and translation professionals.
