“…The publication dates of some papers (e.g., Hu & Meng, 2017;Liang & Xu, 2019) mistaken by databases have been redressed. Additionally, we found 18 records of book chapters and 6 review papers and excluded them as they are not appropriate to answer the formulated research questions.…”

“…Several sub-topics have been discussed concerning the following aspects. For instance, the 'double filter' (i.e., in the phases of publication and translation) for female translators in translating literary texts Baxter (2020), different translation/interpretation strategies used by male and female translators/interpreters Al-Sharafi & Khader (2019); Hu & Meng (2017), and even the gender distribution of the academic background of T& I scholars (Liang & Xu, 2019).…”

This study aims to examine the prevalence and trend of research on gender issues in translation studies. Translation scholars have explored gender issues since the 1990s. However, a systematic literature review of the current trends and research foci in this field is lacking. Hence, the present paper is to fill in this gap based on the PRISMA framework.This study uses a systematic approach to review 73 articles on gender issues in recent translation studies. Web of Science and Scopus are the two databases used to retrieve data. All searches spanned from 2016 to 2020 and included journal articles published in English only. According to the publication year, the data are appraised and synthesized, research contexts, and research methods to suggest research trends. Research foci were also examined based on critical appraisal of the research objectives and categorized into five topics and seven subtopics. Findings show that the number of articles on translation and mediation of gender portrayals in literary translation has significantly increased over the last five years, especially in translating gender-stereotypical portrayals. Nonetheless, there is still room for improvement in several aspects. For instance, to put gender stereotypes in a theoretical framework to explore the gender cultural differences in translation. The study findings provide significant implications and directions for translation researchers to conduct interdisciplinary studies on gender issues and translation studies. Additionally, the research in the translation of gender stereotypical portrayals in literary texts will provide implications for research on the translation of gender stereotypes in non-literary texts.

“…More recently, in view of the fact that manual CDA analysis often may lack objectivity, systematicity and representativeness (Billig 2008;Stubbs 1997;Widdowson 1998), a corpus-based CDA approach has been increasingly applied to the investigation of interpreters' agency and ideological mediation in various settings. These data-based studies have, inter alia, systematically explored China's interpreter-mediated political press conferences (Wang and Feng 2018;Gu 2018;2020a;Gu & Tipton 2020;Li 2018;Hu & Meng 2018) and other high-profile diplomatic settings such as the Summer Davos (Gao 2020;. Given the fact that research "on ideology and interpreting is still in its infancy" (Martin 2016, 239), these empirical corpus-based CDA studies represent a welcome move in examining issues of power and ideology within interpreting and in looking at interpreting itself as a dynamic, situated, interactive, communicative and mediated social activity.…”

From “Within” to “Beyond” in interpreting studies

While there have been recent calls for an “outward turn” in (written) translation studies, interpreting researchers have mostly taken an inward-looking view of interpreting and investigated it as a semi-closed system and an arguably self-interested practice from within, despite the fact that interpreting in various forms and settings has been a co-constructing factor in the transfer of knowledge and also a vital shaper of history, (geo)politics, culture, religion, communication, and our human civilization. Going from “within” to “beyond,” this article conceptualizes interpreting as a consequential socio-political and historical shaping force and a source of inter/trans-disciplinary conviviality and argues for an outward turn in interpreting studies (IS). This article reviews pertinent recent studies with interdisciplinary and outward-looking features that have endeavored to answer the important “so-what” question in IS. These studies highlight the vital role and far-reaching impact of interpreting and interpreters in shaping different spheres of human communication and civilization across time and space. The article also points out directions to move IS forward from a predominantly inward-looking practice. We argue that it is high time we ventured out of our comfort zone, got off the well-trodden path, and took an outward-looking view of interpreting so that the sub-discipline can have more meaningful and mutually enriching dialogues with other disciplines and subject areas.

“…Besides, cultural differences must be explored for underlying reasons. One of the few examples, relating the linguistic behavior to culture, was conducted by Hu and Meng (2018). In this study, it was indicated that male interpreters have a tendency to adopt strategies such as strengthening, weakening, and addition more often than female interpreters, whereas female interpreters tend to remain closer to the original text than male interpreters, due to the authors' argument of China's social expectations of men as being more innovative and creative versus of women as being passive and submissive.…”

The issue of female interpreting is underresearched in literature. Of the limited studies, there are some studies which focus on one linguistic aspect of the female interpreters as well those which focus on a nonlinguistic aspect in comparison to male interpreters. This study aims to give an overall view on how they appear in media and scientific articles. It was conducted on the basis of an analysis of the hits of some keywords: gender, interpreting, female interpreting, female interpreters and their Turkish counterparts. As a result of the study, these traits are identified as linguistic traits, physical traits and identity, elegance as part of stance and the same-gender advantage. They collectively show that the established prejudices against women prevail. The specified classifications made for the purposes of this study are primarily for ease of analysis, and surely open to new items to be added by the further developments in the sociological climate accompanied by resultant scholarly studies. ÖZÇeviribilim alanyazını özelinde kadın çevirmenler konusu pek ele alınmış bir konu değildir. Sınırlı çalışmalar ya erkek çevirmenlerle kıyaslandığında kadın çevirmenlerin gösterdiği bir dilsel özelliği, ya da dilsel olmayan bir yönü ele almıştır. Bu çalışma ise medyada yer bulan ve bilimsel araştırmalarda incelenen kadın çevirmenlerin genel olarak nasıl ön plana çıktıklarını mercek altına almaktadır. Çalışma bulguları internet üzerinde arama motorlarına hem İngilizce hem Türkçe olarak toplumsal cinsiyet, sözlü çeviri, sözlü çeviri yapan kadınlar, kadın çevirmenler vb. sözcükleri girilerek elde edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda öne çıkan özelliklerin genel olarak bakıldığında dilsel özellikler, fiziksel özellikler ve kimlik, kişisel kendini sunumun bir parçası olarak zarafet ve aynı cinsiyetten olmanın getirdiği avantajlar olarak saptanmıştır. Bütün olarak değerlendirildiğinde, kadınlara karşı yerleşik olarak halihazırda var olan ön yargıların bu konuda da hüküm sürdüğü dikkati çekmektedir. Bu araştırma kapsamında yapılan sınıflandırma yalnızca çözümleme kolaylığı için gerçekleştirilmiş olup, sosyolojik iklimin değişmesi ve bunun sonucunda yürütülecek daha sonraki araştırmalar ile yapılabilecek olası eklemelere açıktır.
