A History of Modern Translation Knowledge: Sources, concepts, effects
A History of Modern Translation Knowledge is the first attempt to map the coming into being of modern thinking about translation. It breaks with the well-established tradition of viewing history through the reductive lens of schools, theories, turns or interdisciplinary exchanges. It also challenges the artificial distinction between past and present and it sustains that the latter’s historical roots go back far beyond the 1970s. Translation Stud…
Krisztina Károly: Aspects of cohesion and coherence in translation
reviewed by Li in Across Languages and Cultures, 2018), it presents translation corpus research, stresses empirical research and inquires, amongst other topics, into structure analysis.Together, the volumes continue a strong line of research in the crossover between discourse analysis and translation studies.After Károly's Foreword, the readers become acquainted with the research focus, aims, questions and are taken on an introductory walk into t…
The Handbook of Translation and Cognition
This chapter aims to show how cognitive approaches in translation studies recognize social or cultural aspects in the translation event and integrate them into their models to reflect the translation process. Among the pioneering scholars who include explicit references to social aspects in their models of dynamic meaning construction are Larson, who takes a tripartite view of meaning with referential, structural and situational elements, and Kuß…
Translation Methods and Experience: A Comparative Analysis of Human Translation and Post-editing with Students and Professional Translators
While the benefits of using post-editing for technical texts have been more or less acknowledged, it remains unclear whether post-editing is a viable alternative to human translation for more general text types. In addition, we need a better understanding of both translation methods and how they are performed by students as well as professionals, so that pitfalls can be determined and translator training can be adapted accordingly. In this articl…
Translator respect for source text information structure: A parallel investigation of causal connectors
What is the translator’s impact on the information structure (IS) of causal expressions? This study proposes a description method for the internal IS of causal expressions with connectors and their translations. We implement Lambrecht’s view (1990) that IS relates to interlocutors’ ‘mental states’ and look upon information structuring as a cognitive patterning of linguistic elements with varying degrees of manifestness. These degrees are hypothes…
Towards methodologically more rigorous corpus-based translation studies
This paper argues in favour of a more rigorous methodology for corpusbased translation studies. According to our proposal, research papers in the field should be minimally required to (i) provide a meticulous overview of the corpus materials used and of the exact procedures for selecting, annotating and sifting the data; (ii) comment on any specific problems encountered during data selection and annotation, including explicit and motivated statem…
Remapping Translation Studies: Towards a Translation Studies Ontology1
Building on a common view of translation as a human intentional activity, this article presents a translation studies thesaurus in which all concepts from the multitude of different translation studies areas listed in Baker (1998a), the "Bibliography of Translation Studies" (1998-), Williams and Chesterman (2002) and the "EST-Directory 2003" are brought together on a single map that revises Holmes's map (1972). Additional practical advantages for…
Anticipation in conference interpreting: A cognitive process
In conference interpretation research, anticipation is usually seen as the oral production of a particular part of a message in special circumstances. In psychophysiological research, however, anticipation is a mental process. The article presents a revised definition of anticipation that takes account of both approaches. It does so in terms of deliberate enrichment, a conceptual tool from relevance theory. Anticipation in conference interpreting…
