ABSTRACT

With the recent development of machine translation based on artificial intelligence and big data, advances in voice recognition technology, and the complete replacement of interpretation sites with remote platforms in the Covid-19 pandemic period, a “technological turn” in interpreting is happening faster than ever before. In response, this study intends to comparatively analyze research trends in Korea and China that reflect the “technological turn” in interpreting, thus obtaining implications for practical interpretation and relevant research in Korea. In this study, research data on interpretation have been classified into five categories: technology-assisted interpretation education; technology-mediated interpreting; technology-supported interpreting; machine interpretation; and technology-based research on interpretation. In addition, through both quantitative and qualitative analyses of research literature, this study has found that it is necessary to i) improve the quality of domestic research on interpretation technology based on its quantitative growth; ii) develop innovative educational contents and methods to strengthen the “realistic aspects” of interpreting in technology-assisted interpretation education; and iii) facilitate research on computer-assisted interpreting (CAI) and interpretation corpuses.
