The present paper is a review of MA theses conducted on data collected in CorIT – Corpus
of Television Interpreting (Straniero Sergio 2007, 2012; Falbo 2009, 2012), written by
students of the SSLMITs of Trieste and Forlì between the years 2000 and 2011. It provides a
snapshot of the number of possible issues to be investigated within the field of Television
Interpreting Studies by relying on real-life data, with the aim of taking stock of what has
been observed so far, as well as highlighting the great research potential of this branch of
studies and the validity of the corpus-based research approach. CorIT MA theses cover a
wide range of aspects, such as communication setting/discourse genre, discourse format,
native vs. non-native, strategies and errors, interpreter’s role and profile, specific
interpreting issues and potentially problematic elements, interactional and pragmatic
aspects.
