Human Agency and Machine Agency in Digitalised and Datafied Translation Production Networks
This essay draws on concepts and findings from translation sociology, translation technology and translation process research and investigates translators’ agency as it manifests itself in modern digitalised, datafied and distributed working environments (translation production networks) as well as in the interplay with non-human ‘agents’ such as neural machine translation (NMT) systems or recent large language models (LLMs). My discussi…
A competence matrix for machine translation-oriented data literacy teaching
This article presents a matrix of competence descriptors aimed at machine translation-oriented data literacy teaching. This competence matrix constitutes the didactics-facing side of the DataLit MT project, which develops learning resources for teaching relevant components of data literacy in their translation-specific form of professional machine translation (MT) literacy to BA and MA students in translation and specialised communication. After …
Some Translation Studies informed suggestions for further balancing methodologies for machine translation quality evaluation
This article intends to contribute to the current debate on the quality of neural machine translation (NMT) vs. (professional) human translation quality, where recently claims concerning (super)human performance of NMT systems have emerged. The article will critically analyse some current machine translation (MT) quality evaluation methodologies employed in studies claiming such performance of their MT systems. This analysis aims to identify area…
Explicitation in Neural Machine Translation
This paper is concerned with the following question: to what extent does neural machine translation (NMT) – a relatively new approach to machine translation (MT), which can draw on richer contextual information than previous MT architectures – perform explicitation shifts in translation and how are these shifts realised in linguistic terms? In order to answer this question, the paper attempts to identify instances of explicitation in the machine-…
From S-explicitation to T-explicitation? Tracing the development of the explicitation concept
This paper sets out to investigate the coexistence of two different versions of explicitation in translation studies, which, with reference to Chesterman’s distinction between S-universals and T-universals, are called S-explicitation and T-explicitation in the first part of this article. Following a brief survey of the major strands in explicitation research, the specific characteristics of S-explicitation and T-explicitation are discussed. By tr…
