Genre-specific cognitive processing in translation and paraphrasing
Effects of speaker deviation on interpreters’ cognitive processes during simultaneous interpreting with text
Speaker deviations from prepared scripts present a significant cognitive challenge during simultaneous interpreting with text (SIMTXT), as audio-visual incongruence intensifies cross-modal interference and increases demands on attention management. This study investigates how student interpreters process and respond to such incongruence, combining eye-tracking, target output analysis, and retrospective interviews. Twenty-three student interpreter…
Exploring Chinese postgraduates’ acceptance of GenAI-assisted interpreting learning
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) shows promise in interpreter training, yet understanding the factors influencing interpreting students’ intentions to use GenAI remains underexplored. Drawing on the technology acceptance model and task-technology fit theory, this study examined the acceptance of GenAI-assisted interpreting among 211 Chinese postgraduate students. Data were collected via a web-based questionnaire and analysed using a dua…
GenAI ‐assisted interpreting learning
As generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) transforms language educational practices, understanding its pedagogical role in specialised domains like interpreter training has become increasingly important. Still, little is known about how translation and interpreting students, also advanced second‐language learners, perceive and engage with this emerging technology. This study explores how Master of Translation and Interpreting (MTI) students i…
Examining cognitive processing in simultaneous interpreting with text
In simultaneous interpreting with text (SIMTXT), speaker's deviations from their prepared script often bring challenges to interpreters' cognitive processing. However, empirical research on this input variable and how interpreters cope with it are limited. It is also unclear whether more extensive script pre-reading would mitigate the impact of such deviations. This study explores two essential factors concerning the working conditions of SIMTXT:…
Exploring the impact of word order asymmetry on cognitive load during Chinese–English sight translation
This paper explores the impact of word order asymmetry between source language and target language on cognitive load during Chinese–English sight translation. Twenty-five MA students of translation from a Hong Kong university were asked to sight translate sentences with different degrees of between-language structural asymmetry from Chinese into English, in both single-sentence and discourse context conditions. Their eye movements were recorded t…
Coping with syntactic complexity in English–Chinese sight translation by translation and interpreting students
This study approaches syntactic complexity from a relative point of view and examines how translation and interpreting students cope with relative clauses and passive constructions, two exemplifications of syntactic complexity in English–Chinese sight translation. A group of students ( N = 23) took part in the study. The study consisted of three parts: an English reading span test, a sight translation task, and a baseline reading task. During the…
A cognitive investigation of ‘chunking’ and ‘reordering’ for coping with word-order asymmetry in English-to-Chinesesight translation
Word-order asymmetry between source language and target language has been recognized as a major obstacle in interpreting. Regarding whether the original word order is changed in target production, two strategies for asymmetrical structures are identified: chunking and reordering. This study primarily examined the cognitive mechanism involved in applying these two strategies during English to Chinese sight translation. The cognitive load associate…
