Advances in Cognitive Translation Studies

This book presents the latest theoretical and empirical advances in
cognitive translation studies. It involves the modes of written
translation, interpreting, sight translation, and computer-aided
translation. In separate chapters, this book proposes a new analytical
framework for studying keylogged translation processes, a framework that
reconciles a sociological and a psychological approach for studying
expertise in translation, and a pedagogical model of translation
competence. It expands the investigation of cognitive processes by
considering the role of emotional factors, reviews, and develops the
effort models of interpreting as a didactic construct. The empirical
studies in this book revolve around cognitive load and effort; they
explore the influences of text factors (e.g., metaphors, complex lexical
items, directionality) while taking into account translator factors and
evaluate the user experience of computer-aided translation tools.
