Enhancing mis- and disinformation detection and understanding its influence
Addressing the detection and spread of mis- and disinformation presents a complex challenge. Using the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) software, we examined the defining linguistic features that distinguish fake from authentic COVID-19 news. Drawing from Communication Accommodation Theory (CAT) and Information Manipulation Theory (IMT), we analysed 70 fake and 70 true news stories. CAT proved more effective than IMT in predicting linguis…
Mind wandering and cognitive load in subtitled educational videos
This study investigated whether and how subtitles on educational videos influence attentional and cognitive processing by examining mind wandering (MW), comprehension, and cognitive load (CL) – bridging translation studies with constructs and indicators from educational psychology and cognitive science. English L2 university students (n = 102) were assigned to one of three experimental conditions: watching a lecture in English without subtitles (…
State‐of‐the‐Art of Eye Tracking in Mobile‐Assisted Learning Studies
An eye-tracking study on the cognitive processing, reception, and perception of swearword translation in films
Technological advances lead to an increasing array of widely accessible online audiovisual (AV) products. However, translating these AV products poses challenges, especially for culturally sensitive content like swearwords. Using eye-tracking, this study investigates how audiences cognitively process translated swearwords in films from English to Chinese. The experiment involved 150 participants distributed among five different subtitling groups,…
A corpus-based study on the English-Chinese swearwords produced by amateur (fansubbing) and professional (prosubbing) subtitling
The translation of culturally-sensitive elements, especially swearwords, poses a unique challenge for audiovisual (AV) products which are increasingly disseminated online to millions of diverse audiences. This study focuses on the convergence and divergence in the translation of swearwords by fan-produced and professional subtitles. Fansubbing, a fusion of ‘fan’ and ‘subtitling’, has gained prominence as volunteers translate foreign AV content in…
A study of the effects of mobile media on L2 text processing
Reading patterns and cognitive processing in an eye-tracking study of note-reading in consecutive interpreting
This article reports on the eye-tracking data collected from 18 professional interpreters while they performed consecutive interpreting with notes. It is a pioneering study in its visualisation of the way in which note-reading occurs. Preliminary evidence suggests that note-reading proceeds in a nonlinear manner. The data collected in this study also report on indicators of cognitive processing in consecutive interpreting, particularly during not…
Triangulation of online and offline measures of processing and reception in AVT
This chapter reviews methodologies for investigating the cognitive processing of audiovisual translation products using the triangulation of physiological, psychometric and performance measures. It also provides an analysis of the strengths and limitations of these measures to offer a synthesis of what has been achieved in this field and what remains to be developed. Such triangulation faces many challenges and rewards related to conducting inter…
Measuring cognitive load in the presence of educational video
The use of video has become well established in education, from traditional courses to blended and online courses. It has grown both in its diversity of applications as well as its content. Such educational video however is not fully accessible to all students, particularly those who require additional visual support or students studying in a foreign language. Subtitles (also known as captions) represent a unique solution to these language and ac…
Telop, Affect, and Media Design
Japanese and other Asian TV producers have been deploying multi-colored, and highly visible, intra-lingual captions on TV programs to enhance their appeal and to influence their viewers’ interpretations. The practice of adding these captions is far from innocent and is prone to abuse and overuse due to the lack of official guidelines and an evidence base. We conducted a multimodal analysis within the framework of relevance theory to provide an em…
Original language subtitles
This study investigates the impact of same-language subtitles on the immersion into audiovisual narratives as a function of the viewer’s language (native or foreigner). Students from two universities in Australia and one in Spain were assigned randomly to one of two experimental groups, in which they saw a drama with the original English soundtrack either with same-language English subtitles (n=81) or without subtitles (n=92). The sample included…
A survey of machine translation competences
This paper describes a large-scale survey of machine translation (MT) competencies conducted by a non-commercial and publicly funded European research project. Firstly, we highlight the increased prevalence of translation technologies in the translation and localisation industry, and develop upon this by reporting on survey data derived from 438 validated respondents, including freelance translators, language service providers, translator trainer…
A virtuous circle
This study compares consistency in target texts produced using translation memory (TM) with that of target texts produced using statistical machine translation (SMT), where the SMT engine is trained on the same texts as are reused in the TM workflow. These comparisons focus specifically on noun and verb inconsistencies, as such inconsistencies appear to be highly prevalent in TM data. The study substitutes inconsistent TM target text nouns and ve…
A resource management tool for implementing strategic direction in an academic department
This paper reports on a load balancing system for an academic department, which can be used as an implementation mechanism for strategic planning. In essence, it consists of weighting each activity within the department and performing workload allocation based on this transparent scheme. The experience to date has been very positive, in terms of achieving strategic change and staff contentment
