Terminology Management in Interpreting Mode: Concepts, Present and Future

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1673-8578.2021.02.008

Abstract

Abstract:

Terminology work has been regarded as an important part of conference preparation by both professional interpreters and interpreting teachers. With the technological development in the 21st century, terminology management in interpreting mode gained more attention and discussion. Based on a detailed literature review, this paper first clarified relevant concepts including term, terminology management, and use of terminology in interpreting mode. We also reviewed the previous empirical studies which have investigated into tools for terminology work, methods used in terminology work, terminology work process and the influence of terminology work on interpreting performance. Based on pointing out the success and limitations of previous studies, we propose future research directions in terminology management.

Key words: interpreting, term, terminology management, terminology work
