Modeling rater cognition in translation assessment
In this exploratory study, we investigated rater cognition in English–Chinese translation assessment, drawing on think-aloud, eye-tracking, and interview data. We designed a 3 × 2 × 2 experiment in which experienced raters assessed eighteen renditions of three levels of quality for each translation direction, using a Likert-type scale or analytic rubric scale. We found that: (a) the raters heeded meaning transfer more frequently than other conten…
Conducting replication in translation and interpreting studies
Replication has the potential to substantiate tentative research claims and consolidate the existing evidence base. Translation and interpreting (T&I) scholars have argued for the need for replication and generated initial data on practices and attitudes towards replication. In three inter-linked studies described in this article, we shed further light on how replication is perceived, practiced, and expected by relevant stakeholders. We find that…

Applying n -gram-based evaluation metrics to assess human interpreting
We have recently witnessed a number of studies conducted to employ n -gram-based machine-translation evaluation metrics such as BLEU to assess human interpreting automatically. A major limitation of this research lies in the non-probabilistic sampling of a limited number of renditions. Consequently, the correlation coefficients calculated between machine and human assessments, which serve as a proxy for machine– human parity, lack generalizabilit…
“How can I add an argument appropriately in English?” Addition markers in Chinese L1 and English L1 university student writing
Previous studies have shown that as L2 writing develops from intermediate to advanced levels, addition is marked less often and the use of and decreases as the use of moreover, furthermore and other less frequent addition markers increases. This study goes further in that it examines first how addition is marked in different academic disciplines and genres, and secondly how addition markers and their collocates are used by Chinese students in com…

English Vowel Discrimination and Perceptual Assimilation by Japanese Listeners
This study examined whether the discrimination accuracy of nonnative vowels could be predicted by how listeners assimilate nonnative phones into their L1. The results demonstrated that Japanese listeners discriminated between English /æ/ and /ʌ/ better than they did between /ɑ/ and /ʌ/, although they categorized all those stimuli as the Japanese /a/. Given that the acoustic distance between stimuli was controlled to be identical, this result was …
Dissociation and re-imagination
After the promulgation of the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China in 1950, literary works engendered from the exigencies of publicity held distinct policy implications and disciplinary significance. Given that the issue of divorce encapsulates both the rationale of "free rights" and the sensibility of social disorder, the narrative of "divorce" during this period is, to some extent, situated between politics and reality. On the one han…
Translation and Interpreting
Translation and interpreting (T&I) studies is interdisciplinary by nature, drawing on theories and methods from various fields to investigate T&I‐related phenomena. Mixed‐methods research (MMR) therefore has an important role to play in such interdisciplinary exploration. This entry focuses on the practice of MMR by T&I researchers. Importantly, it foregrounds and describes a number of prominent studies that analyze and review MMR in T&I. The gen…
An item-based, Rasch-calibrated approach to assessing translation quality
Item-based scoring has been advocated as a psychometrically robust approach to translation quality assessment, outperforming traditional neo-hermeneutic and error analysis methods. The past decade has witnessed a succession of item-based scoring methods being developed and trialed, ranging from calibration of dichotomous items to preselected item evaluation. Despite this progress, these methods seem to be undermined by several limitations, such a…
Use of statistical methods in translation and interpreting research
The study reported on in the article examines the patterns and trends of statistical analysis in translation and interpreting (T&I) research, based on a longitudinal quantitative analysis of more than 3300 research articles sampled from eleven leading T&I journals (2000–2020). This evidence-based review is the first study to provide a systematic mapping of statistical methods used by T&I researchers. Our analyses suggest that (a) about 40% of the…
Investigating rater severity/leniency in interpreter performance testing
Rater-mediated performance assessment (RMPA) is a critical component of interpreter certification testing systems worldwide. Given the acknowledged rater variability in RMPA and the high-stakes nature of certification testing, it is crucial to ensure rater reliability in interpreter certification performance testing (ICPT). However, a review of current ICPT practice indicates that rigorous research on rater reliability is lacking. Against this ba…

Modeling the relationship between utterance fluency and raters’ perceived fluency of consecutive interpreting
Fluency is an important, yet insufficiently understood, construct in interpreting studies. This article reports on an empirical study which explored the relationship between utterance fluency measures and raters’ perceived fluency ratings of English/Chinese consecutive interpreting. It also examined whether such relationship was consistent across interpreting directions and rater types. The results partially supported the categorization of uttera…
Using rating scales to assess interpretation
Over the past decade, interpretation assessment has played an increasingly important role in interpreter education, professional certification, and interpreting research. The time-honored assessment method is based on analysis of (para)linguistic features of interpretation (including such items as omissions, substitutions, un/filled pauses and self-corrections). Recently, use of descriptor-based rating scales to assess interpretation has emerged …
Automatic assessment of spoken-language interpreting based on machine-translation evaluation metrics
Automated metrics for machine translation (MT) such as BLEU are customarily used because they are quick to compute and sufficiently valid to be useful in MT assessment. Whereas the instantaneity and reliability of such metrics are made possible by automatic computation based on predetermined algorithms, their validity is primarily dependent on a strong correlation with human assessments. Despite the popularity of such metrics in MT, little resear…
Using self-assessment as a formative assessment tool in an English-Chinese interpreting course
Student self-assessment has been increasingly used as a formative assessment tool in interpreter education to help students foster learner autonomy, self-regulation and life-long learning. However, there seems to be little empirical research on how interpreting students perceive and view self-assessment. We therefore report a qualitative study, based on 38 students’ reflective observations, to shed light on potential benefits and drawbacks of sel…
Mixed-methods research in interpreting studies
Interpreting Studies (IS) has emerged as an interdisciplinary enterprise, using a diverse array of research methods derived from postpositivist and constructivist paradigms to investigate interpreting/translational phenomena. Mixed-methods research (MMR), which should enable both Erklärung (explanation) and Verstehen (understanding), has for some years been gaining momentum in IS ( Hild 2015 ; Pöchhacker 2011 ). This article draws upon a collecti…
A survey to profile conference interpreting practice in China
This report presents findings from an online survey of 140 English/Chinese conference interpreters, conducted as a follow-up of an exploratory diary study (Han 2015), to provide a detailed account of real-life interpreting practice in China. Three main tendencies are identified: a) conference-related materials (mainly programmes and speakers’ scripts/notes) are often received late, leaving little preparation time; b) interpreters do a much wider …
Test validation in interpreter certification performance testing
Over the past decade, interpreter certification performance testing has gained momentum. Certification tests often involve high stakes, since they can play an important role in regulating access to professional practice and serve to provide a measure of professional competence for end users. The decision to award certification is based on inferences from candidates’ test scores about their knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as their interpr…
Assessing the fidelity of consecutive interpreting
The study reported on in this article pertains to rater-mediated assessment of English-to-Chinese consecutive interpreting, particularly informational correspondence between an originally intended message and an actually rendered message, also known as “fidelity” in Interpreting Studies. Previous literature has documented two main methods to assess fidelity: comparing actual renditions with the source text or with an exemplar rendition carefully …
Assessing spoken-language interpreting
In this study, we applied and evaluated a scoring method known as comparative judgement to assess spoken-language interpreting. This methodological exploration represents an extension of previous efforts to optimise scoring methods for assessing interpreting. Essentially, comparative judgement requires judges to compare two similar objects and make a binary decision about their relative qualities. To evaluate its reliability, validity and usefuln…
Syntax and Semantics of It-Clefts
In this paper, we examine two main approaches to the syntax and semantics of it-clefts as in ‘It was Ohno who won’: an expletive approach where the cleft pronoun is an expletive and the cleft clause bears a direct syntactic or semantic relation to the clefted constituent, and a discontinuous constituent approach where the cleft pronoun has a semantic content and the cleft clause bears a direct syntactic or semantic relation to the cleft pronoun. …

Geisha of a Different Kind
In gay bars and nightclubs across America, and in gay-oriented magazines and media, the buff, macho, white gay man is exalted as the ideal—the most attractive, the most wanted, and the most emulated type of man. For gay Asian American men, often viewed by their peers as submissive or too ‘pretty,’ being sidelined in the gay community is only the latest in a long line of racially-motivated offenses they face in the United States.Repeatedly margina…
Lacunae, myths and legends about conference interpreters
Conference interpreting is emerging as a profession in China, which creates a demand for qualified interpreters. Consequently, both academic and certification programs have been established to nurture and certify capable interpreters. These two endeavors will benefit from a detailed and empirical description of the interpreting practice, because such description can inform both pedagogical and test content. However, it seems that little empirical…

Investigating the effects of speech rate and accent on simultaneous interpretation
The issue addressed in this study is effects of speakers’ fast speech rate (FSR) and strong accent (StrA) on simultaneous interpretation (SI) quality. Although it is perceived that FSR and StrA negatively affect overall SI quality, such effects have been mostly derived from small-sample quantitative studies and have not been consistently borne out by empirical evidence. The present mixed-methods study therefore draws upon a sample of 32 professio…
A longitudinal quantitative investigation into the concurrent validity of self and peer assessment applied to English-Chinese bi-directional interpretation in an undergraduate interpreting course
Latent trait modelling of rater accuracy in formative peer assessment of English-Chinese consecutive interpreting
Despite the increasing popularity of peer assessment in tertiary-level interpreter education, very little research has been conducted to examine the quality of peer ratings on language interpretation. While previous research on the quality of peer ratings, particularly rating accuracy, mainly relies on correlation and analysis of variance, latent trait modelling emerges as a useful approach to investigate rating accuracy in rater-mediated perform…
The accuracy of student self-assessments of English-Chinese bidirectional interpretation
The accuracy of self-assessment has long been examined empirically in higher education research, producing a substantial body of literature that casts light on numerous potential moderators. However, despite the growing popularity of self-assessment in interpreter training and education, very limited evidence-based research has been initiated to shed insight into the formative assessment of language interpretation. This longitudinal study was the…

A generalizability theory study of optimal measurement design for a summative assessment of English/Chinese consecutive interpreting
Summative assessment of interpretation is widely conducted in interpreting courses/programs to inform high-stakes decision making, such as the selection, certification, and conferral of academic degrees. Yet there has been very limited empirical research to investigate the score dependability of summative interpretation assessment. The present study therefore sets out to explore the optimal measurement design(s) for a locally created summative as…

Using unfilled pauses to measure (dis)fluency in English-Chinese consecutive interpreting
Unfilled pauses (UPs) are commonly regarded as an index of interpreting (dis)fluency. Despite their important role, it is not always straightforward in interpreting research to describe and characterize UPs. One potential controversy concerns the selection of a pause threshold to identify UP. A wide range of thresholds, ranging from 0.2–3 s, has been operationalized in interpreting literature. However, there has been little empirical evidence sup…

Correcting Eccentric Growth Rings Using Basal Area Increment
Because of the eccentric radial growth for shrubs, climatic signals recorded by their ring-width series tend to be distorted. We hypothesized that measured Basal Area Increment (BAI) can overcome such a weakness. We used the desert shrub Zygophyllum xanthoxylum, with eccentric radial growth to test this hypothesis. RWI (mRWI) and BAI standard chronologies were established based on the ring-width data. Then, we converted BAI into RWI and created a…
Interpreting quality assessment re-imagined
Assessment of interpreting quality is a ubiquitous social practice in the interpreting industry and academia. In this article, we focus on both psychometric and social dimensions of assessment practice, and analyse two major assessment paradigms, namely, human rater scoring and automatic machine scoring. Regarding human scoring, we describe five specific methods, including atomistic scoring, questionnaire-based scoring, multi-methods scoring, rub…
However and other transitions in the Han CH-EN corpus
Research on the frequency of transitions, or transition markers, has led to contested claims. Comparisons by L1 speaker (e.g. Leedham, 2015; Lei, 2012) argue that Chinese writers overuse and underuse certain transitions when compared to L1 English writers. Moreover, Biber et al. (1999) suggest transitions are frequent in technical scientific writing, while Hyland (2005) suggests they are more frequent in the discursive writing of the soft discipl…
