Reviews

This collective volume reflects recent trends in cognitive translation process research. Some articles deal primarily with theoretical and methodological issues; others show applications of introspective methods and software like keystroke-logging, screen recording, eye-tracking, pupillometrics and EEG. Several exploratory studies using various method combinations are reported and discussed. Aspects considered include translation competence development, uncertainty management, the cognitive load under different reading modalities or when translating from and into L1, eye-tracking of metaphor translation, distribution of attention between source text and target text, and limits on cognitive processing.
