Since Shlesinger’s (1998) programmatic article, many interpreting corpora have been developed. Generally, they include interpreted communication instances taking place in various settings, such as conferences, healthcare, and other institutional contexts, such as television. Notwithstanding differences concerning setting and communicative situation, all these corpora show common traits as far as size and interrogation aspects are concerned: more specifically, they have limited size, and their interrogation possibilities are influenced by the presence – or absence – of transcript-audio alignment and tagging level. This paper focuses on these aspects by presenting two corpora collected at the University of Trieste, namely CorIT (Italian Television Interpreting Corpus) and CorILex (Legal Interpreting Corpus). The main differences distinguishing these two corpora will be discussed in relation to the latest developments of research in corpus linguistics. Our goal is to identify the place interpreting corpora currently occupy within corpus linguistics, a domain that is becoming increasingly diverse, multifaceted, and multidisciplinary.
