Abstract Interpreting Studies (IS) has emerged as an interdisciplinary enterprise, using a diverse array of research methods derived from postpositivist and constructivist paradigms to investigate interpreting/translational phenomena. Mixed-methods research (MMR), which should enable both Erklarung (explanation) and Verstehen (understanding), has for some years been gaining momentum in IS (Hild 2015; Pochhacker 2011). This article draws upon a collection of 312 empirical studies, sampled from 36 peer-reviewed TI (b) the four prototypical MMR designs identified, accounting for 60.2% of the 113 MMR studies, were parallel, sequential, conversion and Survey (Qual & Quan); (c) the prototype designs were innovatively combined by researchers, using addition, substitution, and embedment techniques, to form complex MMR variants suitable for the specificities of different research questions. These findings are discussed in relation to inference making and compared with MMR practice in cognate disciplines. Finally, the article provides a set of suggestions for writing and publishing MMR studies in IS.

口译研究中的混合方法研究

摘要口译研究（IS）已经发展成为一个跨学科的企业，它使用从后实证主义和建构主义范式衍生的各种研究方法来研究口译/翻译现象。混合方法研究（MMR）可以使Erklarung（解释）和Verstehen（理解）同时发挥作用，多年来在IS中获得了发展势头（Hild，2015； Pochhacker，2011）。本文基于312项实证研究的集合，这些实证研究来自36个经过同行评审的TI（b）所确定的四个原型MMR设计，占113个MMR研究的60.2％，是平行，顺序，转换和调查（Qual＆Quan ）; （c）研究人员使用添加，替换和嵌入技术对原型设计进行了创新性的组合，形成适合于不同研究问题特异性的复杂MMR变体。对这些发现进行了讨论，并与相关学科的MMR实践进行了比较。最后，本文为在IS中编写和发布MMR研究提供了一系列建议。
