口译研究的“名”与“实”：口译研究的学科理论建构之一

作为一门新兴的（子）学科，口译研究自上世纪50年代发轫，在近20年得到了较快的发展，目前已基本具备学科雏形。口译研究的学科理论建构有两个关键问题亟待探讨：口译研究如何进行学科定位？口译研究的学科框架如何设计？本文明确了口译研究的学科定位为“翻译学”的一门子学科，提出了口译研究的学科框架包含理论基础和应用研究两大部分，理论基础包括“学科认识论”和“学科方法论”，应用研究包括“研究对象”和“研究方法”。通过对各种视角的口译研究成果的回顾，本文系统梳理了口译研究的学科发展历程。

Emerging in the 1950s and undergoing a period of fast development in the past two decades, the studies of interpreting remains confronted however with two critical issues in its pursuit of disciplinary status: how it should be positioned vis-à-vis its neighboring disciplines; and what shape its conceptual framework ought to take to ensure its continued growth. This article proposes that interpreting studies be conceived as a (sub)discipline within Translation Studies, and that its disciplinary framework be made up primarily of four components: theoretical assumptions about its own epistemology and methodology, and practical understandings of the objects and approaches for its research.
