Visual attention, perception, and performance of international students in EMI lectures with automatic live intralingual subtitles
This article presents a study that examines how international university students perform in English Medium Instruction (EMI) lectures with live intralingual subtitles, or lectures in which the lecturer’s words are subtitled in real time in the same language as the speaker. It investigates which study variables are predictive of the students’ performance, taking into account perception, visual attention and cognitive load. Two one-hour simulated …
The effects of corpus-focused instruction on the development of stylistic translation revision competence in future translators
In this paper, we investigate stylistic translation revision competence, more specifically if and how corpus-focused instruction (CFI) improves translation trainees’ ability to detect and correct stylistic inappropriateness in Dutch — English translations of academic texts. Two forms of CFI — ‘do-it-yourself’ (DIY) and prepared corpora — are compared to find out (1) if CFI helps trainees to make more informed style-related revision decisions and …

L’évaluation de la postédition « retour » en contexte d’apprentissage: Priorité à la détection des problèmes de traduction
Si le processus de postédition (PE) s’effectue en plusieurs étapes, il commence invariablement par la détection d’un problème, comme en attestent les modèles de compétence en PE. Dans un contexte didactique, si l’enseignement de la PE met l’accent sur cette phase du processus, faut-il en tenir compte lors de l’évaluation, quel que soit le produit fini ? Le cas échéant, comment reconnaître des détections qui n’ont pas conduit à une modification vi…
Preparing and comparing subtitles for quasi-experimental and experimental research in audiovisual translation studies
Empirical research on cognitive processing in AVT has been on the rise in recent years. A number of overarching works have recommended more standardised approaches and methodological frameworks to contribute to more streamlined, replicable, reproducible and valid future AVT research. To date, the issue of comparability of research materials (e.g., clips, subtitle tracks, comprehension questionnaires) and, more specifically, how to achieve compara…
Measuring translation revision competence and post-editing competence in translation trainees: Methodological issues
Translation proper is rarely the sole activity of professional translators, who regularly function also as revisers and/or post-editors. Various models of and studies into translation competence (TC), translation revision competence (TRC) and post-editing competence (PEC) exist. However, a fundamental question remains unanswered: how similar – or different – are TC, TRC and PEC? Before this question can be answered, a methodological issue must be…
Responsabilité sociale de l’entreprise
Trop souvent circonscrite aux sciences de gestion, la responsabilité sociale de l’entreprise (RSE) est une notion à ce jour peu mobilisée dans la revue Développement durable & territoires. En effet, depuis 20 ans, seulement 7 articles mentionnent la RSE ou la responsabilité sociale de l’organisation (RSO) dans leur titre. La quasi-absence de cette notion dans la revue s’explique par le changement d’orientation analytique de la RSE, passant du niv…
Dossier « L’économie circulaire: Modes de gouvernance et développement territorial » – Nouveaux modèles économiques et construction de la durabilité territoriale. Illustrations à partir d’une analyse …
Depuis le début des années 2000, des expérimentations dont l’objectif est de développer de nouveaux modèles économiques (économie circulaire, écologie industrielle et territoriale, économie de la fonctionnalité...) s’organisent autour de pratiques collectives engagées autour et vers de nouvelles formes de durabilité. Ces initiatives émanent de partenaires privés ou de territoires. Malgré leur grande hétérogénéité, ces nouveaux modèles économiques…

Nouveaux modèles économiques et création de valeur territoriale autour de l'économie circulaire, de l’économie de la fonctionnalité et de l’écologie industrielle
Ce travail s'intéresse à la construction d'un nouveau concept, la valeur territoriale, et sa relation à la question du développement territorial. Il propose dans un premier temps, une approche généalogique du concept de valeur à partir d'une discussion sur l'entreprise et les business models (modèles d’affaires) soutenables. Les nouvelles formes de valeur (valeur client élargie, valeur partenariale, valeur partagée, etc .) privilégient une défini…
Going liquid: French food retail industry experiencing an interregnum
By calling the present condition of the French food retail industry an interregnum, this research considers the impact of liquid modernity on this sector and looks for signs of a new order at a designing stage. Nine experts representing large retailers and entrepreneurs using alternative modes of food retailing were interviewed. An interpretive analysis reveals a wide diversity of changes. Following Bauman’s liquid metaphor, we identify shock, tr…
Conceptualizing translation revision competence: A pilot study on the acquisition of the knowledge about revision and strategic subcompetences
Translation revision (TR) is an important step in the translation workflow. However, translation revision competence (TRC) remains an ill-defined concept. This article addresses that gap by operationalizing TR and by presenting a theoretical TRC model. Subsequently, the article analyses and interprets the results of an empirical pilot study designed to test the presence of two TR subcompetences hypothesized by the TRC model, in an experimental gr…
Conceptualizing translation revision competence: A pilot study on the ‘fairness and tolerance’ attitudinal component
Although translation revision plays a crucial role in the production of high-quality translations, research into translation revision competence (TRC) is relatively new and underdeveloped compared with research into translation competence. This article addresses that gap by focusing on the validation of the TRC model developed by Robert, Remael, and Ureel. Using questionnaires and revision tasks in a pretest–posttest experimental design, we inves…
Quality Control in the Subtitling Industry: An Exploratory Survey Study
Quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) are central to translation practice and research today, as is translation revision, which, today, is increasingly seen as an integral part of quality monitoring. Revision is also explicitly mentioned as a quality requirement in the European Standard for Translation Services EN 15 038, issued by the European Committee for Standardization (2006). Quality issues have also been a recurring topic at audi…
Is subtitling equally effective everywhere? A first cross-national study on the reception of interlingually subtitled messages
Recent research on the reception of interlingual subtitling revealed that it is cognitively effective: watching a subtitled film results in a good understanding of the film content, it does not require a significant tradeoff between image processing and text processing, and it leads to a good performance in the recognition of the words and expressions contained in the subtitles. To date, the studies that revealed the effectiveness of subtitle pro…
Should Revision Trainees Think Aloud while Revising Somebody Else’s Translation? Insights from an Empirical Study with Professionals
This paper reported on a follow-up study whose aim was fourfold: 1) to determine which variables do seem to influence the amount of verbalization of professional revisers when they verbalize their thoughts while revising somebody else’s translation, 2) to determine what kind of revision sub-processes are verbalized, 3) to determine the relation between the type of verbalizations and revision product and process, and 4) to draw conclusions for rev…
Selecting a translation revision procedure: Do common sense and statistics agree
Translators employ a wide variety of revision procedures in their day-to-day working practice. This paper empirically investigates the impact of these revision procedures on both the revision product and the revision process. Sixteen professional revisers revised four comparable translations, each time using a different procedure: (1) monolingual, (2) bilingual, (3) bilingual followed by monolingual, and (4) monolingual followed by bilingual. To …
La consommation collaborative, le versant encore équivoque de l’économie de la fonctionnalité
La consommation collaborative est aujourd’hui portée aux nues dans certains milieux économiques et médiatiques et jugée porteuse de nombreuses vertus tant sur le plan social qu’environnemental. Elle peut être définie comme le versant « consommatoire » de l’économie de la fonctionnalité, son extension naturelle dans le domaine du Business to Consumer (BtoC) ou encore du Consumer to Consumer (CtoC). Cet article explore cette logique de consommation…
