Alvstad Cecilia, Hild Adelina, Tiselius Elisabet (Editors). Methods and Strategies of Process Research: Integrative approaches in Translation Studies

John Benjamins, 2011. — xii, 377 p. — (Benjamins Translation Library). — ISBN: 978-90-272-8519-5.The volume includes contributions on the cognitive processes underlying translation and interpreting, which represent innovative research with a methodological and empirical orientation. The methodological section offers an assessment/validation of different time lag measures; discusses the challenges of interpreting keystroke and eye-tracking data in translation, and triangulating disfluency analysis and eye-tracking data in sight translation research. The remainder of the volume features empirical studies on such topics as: metaphor comprehension; audience perception in subtitling research; translation and meta-linguistic awareness; effect of language-pair specific factors on interpreting quality. A special section is dedicated to expertise studies which look at the link between problem analysis and meta-knowledge in experienced translators; the effects of linguistic complexity on expert interpreting; strategic processing and tacit knowledge in professional interpreting.Methods and strategies of process research: Integrative approaches in Translation Studies
