Textual explicitations
Previous studies on explicitation have “mainly investigated explicitation as textual cohesion” (Sergio & Falbo 2012: 24). In Künzli and Moser-Mercer’s empirical research (1995: 304–306) on translation process, they concluded that novice translators and interpreters tend to treat each sentence in an isolated manner and fail to establish discourse links. On the basis of their findings, it would be fair to assume that student interpreters might also make less textual explicitation shifts than their professional counterparts. Is there a higher frequency of textual explicitations in the professional group? Is there any difference in interpreters’ adoption of textual explicitations while they are interpreting in different interpreting directions? This chapter intends to analyse these questions by investigating textual explicitations.
