A comparison was made using a video-recorded scripted role-play between eight interpreters, with Swedish-French\u0000 or Swedish-Spanish as working languages and with different levels of experience. Cognitively challenging long stretches of talk\u0000 were introduced in both directions of the working languages and analyzed with a multi-modal approach. We identified a number of\u0000 quantitative measures, such as the number of coupled turns and the time used. Furthermore, we qualitatively analyzed the types of\u0000 renditions. The findings suggest that the mean length of time of the coupled turn, which we label processing\u0000 span, is a measure that is not primarily related to interpreting experience but rather reflects the constraints of the\u0000 interpreter’s working memory. A further finding is that the inexperienced interpreters have a higher percentage of reduced\u0000 renditions than the experienced interpreters, and this difference is statistically significant.","PeriodicalId":300991,"journal":{"name":"Developments in Cognitive Translation and Interpreting Studies","volume":"448 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116757850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adopting process- and product-oriented\u0000 methods, an experiment was designed to study thirty translations of a 244-word instructional text about a medical device intended\u0000 for health professionals. The data elicited from fifteen novice translators and fifteen experienced translators included\u0000 keylogging and screen-recording data. These data were triangulated and analyzed to describe the translation solutions in the\u0000 interim and final versions in response to problematic translation units and to test if, during the self-revision process, novice\u0000 and experienced translators tend to proceed from more literal versions to less literal ones, or vice versa, in biomedical\u0000 translation. Contrary to expectations, the analysis points towards a literalization phenomenon in the translators’ processes. The\u0000 data also indicates that the tendency to proceed from less literal versions to more literal ones is more pronounced in novice\u0000 translators than in experienced translators. The findings reported here shed new light on the self-revision processes of novice\u0000 and experienced translators and their relationship with prevailing translation norms, and enable us to better understand the\u0000 practices in place in professional biomedical translation.","PeriodicalId":300991,"journal":{"name":"Developments in Cognitive Translation and Interpreting Studies","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116946831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, the\u0000 directionality axiom is increasingly being questioned with translators working from and into their first language both in the\u0000 context of translation (Buchweitz and Alves 2006; Pavlović and Jensen 2009; Fonseca and Barbosa 2015; Hunziker Heeb 2015; Ferreira 2013, 2014; Ferreira et al. 2016; Feng 2017) and in the context of PE (Garcia 2011; Sánchez-Gijón and Torres-Hostench 2014; da Silva\u0000 et al. 2017; Toledo Báez 2018). In this study we employ product- and\u0000 process-oriented approaches to investigate directionality in PE in the English-Greek language pair. In particular, we compare the\u0000 cognitive, temporal, and technical effort expended by translators for the full PE of NMT output in L1 (Greek) with the effort\u0000 required for the full PE of NMT output in L2 (English), while we also analyze the quality of the final translation product. Our\u0000 findings reveal that PE in L2, i.e., inverse PE, is less demanding than PE in L1, i.e., direct PE, in terms of the time and\u0000 keystrokes required, and the cognitive load exerted on translators. Finally, our research shows that directionality does not imply\u0000 differences in quality.","PeriodicalId":300991,"journal":{"name":"Developments in Cognitive Translation and Interpreting Studies","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128306873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite this preoccupation with the phenomenology of translations, we\u0000 still know very little about how translations are actually experienced – written translations especially. This\u0000 article calls for an expansion of research into the reception and experience of source texts and their translations, reviewing the\u0000 opportunities afforded by recent technological developments in eye-tracking, galvanic skin response sensors, echocardiogram\u0000 monitors, and other multi-sensory devices. Using a short case study, a number of research questions and an outline of an\u0000 experimental method are proposed to contrast the reading experience of two translations of the same source text, serving as a\u0000 prompt for future research of this kind. By drawing inspiration from the few existing examples of research in this incipient\u0000 paradigm and the considerations offered in the example, this article aims to stimulate future research to explore the vast\u0000 untapped potential in this area and to arrive at a better understanding of the effects that different translation approaches yield\u0000 and the potential variation in effects between source and target text.","PeriodicalId":300991,"journal":{"name":"Developments in Cognitive Translation and Interpreting Studies","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115409172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the aim of developing a better understanding of SDC and collaborative workflows in translation, we analyzed two different settings where more than one person works on a translation: commercial specialized translation (CST) services, and the production of audio descriptions (AD) as teamwork between blind and sighted describers. The analysis focuses on how the process of co-creation unfolds in the communication that binds together the systems of SDC. While the process of co-creation was strikingly similar in the two different translation contexts, the differences were bound to channels of communication (with or without direct contact between participants), and the draft translation was identified as a central artifact that carries much of the communication when the participants do not work in the same space. With an emphasis on socially distributed cognition, our study provides a framework for both the cognitive and social aspects of translation and develops the understanding of collaborative translation processes. It also contributes to the development of translation practices by helping translation operators and trainers make choices between alternative workflows.","PeriodicalId":300991,"journal":{"name":"Developments in Cognitive Translation and Interpreting Studies","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117232873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, interpreting has been defined as a multimodal, embodied cognitive activity of inter-lingual mediation, and research on gestures in conference interpreting has found that simultaneous interpreters, although not visible for their audience, do gesture in the booth. However, gestures in interpreting are yet understudied. This paper presents an exploratory, in-depth descriptive study with the aim of generating hypotheses about the cognitive functions of gestures in simultaneous interpreting. To this end, we investigate the different types of gesture that emerge throughout a whole process of simultaneous interpreting, in conjunction with the concurrent speech, the interpreter’s interaction with her environment and her own description of her production of mental images and gestures. The research question guiding our investigation is: What functions do the different types of gestures play in the interpreting process? The results suggest that, in the analyzed material, referential gestures tend to support the construction of meanings, while the main role of pragmatic gestures consists in helping to manage the progress of the interpreting process.","PeriodicalId":300991,"journal":{"name":"Developments in Cognitive Translation and Interpreting Studies","volume":"879 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127196495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
