In the following, I will look at the proportion of conjunctions in the output of each student and compare it to the source language text. First, the analysis of the proportion of each type of conjunction is given in the target language texts of the students.

 

 

In comparison to spontaneous speech, the proportion of additive conjunctions is always higher in the consecutively interpreted Hungarian target language texts (Table 11.16). The data also show that the proportion of additive conjunctions is always higher in the consecutively interpreted TL texts than in the SL texts.

 

In comparison to the SL texts and the TTs, the proportion of opposite conjunctions is higher in the spontaneous speech of the students (Table 11.17). The lack of opposite conjunctions in the SL texts for semesters three and four might explain this trend.

 

 

In the spontaneous speech samples, there are more causal conjunctions (Table 11.19). As for the TL texts, no clear trend can be observed.
