초록

‘Message’, as it was defined by Seleskovitch (1968), has been regarded as ‘the’ keyword of interpretation mechanism. The main thesis of ‘theory of sense,’ which is one of the most prominent theories of interpretation (Interpretation is not a substitution of the words but creating and delivering messages) makes this point clearly. This paper will first redefine - as it is not an academic term - and characterize the concept of ‘message’ within the cognitive and text linguistic context. Then, the discussion will try to develop a Message Measurement Tool (MMT). The MMT consists of the test categories of ‘intention’, ‘situation’, ‘contents’, and ‘structure’ as well as having its own evaluating system. This paper will aim to examine the reliability of MMT, by means of a pretest. Three female college students, each 22 years of age, were tested for their message creating ability with MMT through both written and oral modes. The results of this test were compared with their actual interpreting performance which was carried out a month later. This pretest demonstrated a high correlation between the two tests, especially between the oral part of MMT and the interpreting test. This paper concludes with suggestions to improve the MMT in future studies.
