Cognitive Explorations of Translation

Dr Sharon O'Brien is a Lecturer in the School of Applied Language and Intercultural Studies, Dublin City University, Ireland

"Trainers of translators tend to know what a good translation is. This knowledge results from their teaching experience and their knowledge of the professional market, but not always from empirical research. The contributors to this volume help to change that state of affairs: they make use of various methods (think aloud protocols, keylogging, eyetracking and cued retrospection) and their results are of great interest to those in practical and theoretical translation studies."
