A dual route of prediction-by-production and prediction-by-association during simultaneous interpreting
Despite growing interest in prediction during simultaneous interpreting (SI), the real-time processing mechanisms supporting it remain underexplored. This study employed the visual world paradigm to investigate whether interpreters can predict upcoming content while simultaneously interpreting multi-sentence paragraphs and to examine the mechanisms underlying prediction. Interpreting students and professionals simultaneously interpreted four para…
Individual metacognition in technology-assisted collaborative translation
The upsurge of translation technology has fostered complex socio-cognitive communication environments where metacognition emerges as a crucial mediator among translators and other relevant agents. Most research has centered on individual translators, and evidence is scarce on how translation teams navigate such environments and how individual metacognitive activities impact the teams’ translation performance. This study bridges this gap by explor…
Revisiting Grammatical Metaphor in Translation
Is grammatical metaphor – the different ways of construing experience as captured in the grammar of clauses – a challenge for translating like other metaphor types? We investigated how source texts’ degrees of metaphoricity and levels of translation expertise influence the performance of 41 informants when translating texts containing more or less metaphorical segments as stimuli. Data comprised keylogging, screen recording, written retrospective…
Investigating usability in postediting neural machine translation
This is a report on an empirical study on the usability for translation trainees of neural machine translation systems when post-editing ( mtpe ). Sixty Chinese translation trainees completed a questionnaire on their perceptions of mtpe 's usability. Fifty of them later performed both a post-editing task and a regular translation task, designed to examine mtpe 's usability by comparing their performance in terms of text processing speed, effort, …
Cognitive Translation Studies
Several indicators seem to suggest that, through nearly six decades of development, Cognitive Translation Studies (CTS) may be taking shape as an autonomous field of study. The main challenges ahead seem to be building sounder theoretical models and carrying out more rigorous methodological scrutiny. These two strands converge as central themes in the 11 contributions to this special issue of LANS-TTS. To provide a context for theoretical modelli…
Translating in fits and starts
Two pause thresholds were tested, aimed at chunking the translation task workflow into task segments and classifying pauses into different kinds. Pauses below 200 ms were dubbed delays and excluded. An upper threshold at 3 × median pause between words was hypothesized (H1) to capture more translation problems than 3 s pauses, but also to flag other cognitive processes. The upper threshold and a lower threshold at 2 × median pause within words wer…
Student Satisfaction with a Web-based Collaborative Work Platform1
The present paper analyses the results of a research study on translation students’ satisfaction and perceived improvement of their computer, tele- and teamworking skills by using Basic Support Cooperative Work (BSCW) software. The data were obtained from questionnaires given before and after taking part in the project. Results have proven the suitability of BSCW for telework training. The students’ opinions about teamwork are now more positive a…
Student Satisfaction with a Web-based Collaborative Work Platform
A Professional Approach to Translator Training (Patt)
Information technology is a significant challenge for teachers involved in training translators, the prototype of teleworking professions. This article presents an approach that integrates technology into the day-to-day teaching of a range of disciplines. The University of Granada, Spain, offers a four-year first-degree program in Translation and Interpreting. The innovative, collaborative learning project we describe is an online simulation of w…
Contra sísifo
The concept of multidisciplinariety is rejected whereas a common ground for all perspectives of study of translation and interpreting is defended, the main point of which are that (a) translation theories need to be general; and (b) that translating and translations are social institutions, defined as complex communicative events where three parties use at least two different languages. The basic scope cannot be an intercultural approach since ma…
