Journal Article
Weng, Y., & Zheng, B. (2020). A multi-methodological approach to studying time-pressure in written translation: Manipulation and measurement. Linguistica Antverpiensia New Series - Themes in Translation Studies, 19, 218-236

The effect of time pressure on task performance of written translation has been researched since the 1990s. However, little attention has been paid to the methodological issues of manipulating and measuring time pressure in these empirical studies. T...

The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of repeated use of a metacognitive self-regulation inventory (MSRI) in translator self-training. Designed by the researchers, the MSRI includes the cognitive management strategies of planning, moni...

This paper investigates how politeness is treated in interpreter-mediated events and how the treatment is related to interpreters' pragmatic competence. An empirical study was conducted for this purpose, in which twenty-two professional and student i...

Semantic and attentional networks in bilingual processing: fMRI connectivity signatures of translation directionality (2020)
Journal Article
Zheng, B., Báez, S., Su, L., Xiang, X., Weis, S., Ibáñez, A., & García, A. M. (2020). Semantic and attentional networks in bilingual processing: fMRI connectivity signatures of translation directionality. Brain and Cognition, 143, Article 105584. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bandc.2020.105584

Comparisons between backward and forward translation (BT, FT) have long illuminated the organization of bilingual memory, with neuroscientific evidence indicating that FT would involve greater linguistic and attentional demands. However, no study has... Read More about Semantic and attentional networks in bilingual processing: fMRI connectivity signatures of translation directionality.

Review of García (2019): The Neurocognition of Translation and Interpreting (2020)

Since the beginning of Translation and Interpreting Studies (TIS), multiple disciplines have been involved in the field, making it “a house of many rooms” (Neubert and Shreve 1994, vii). As process-oriented TIS started to attract increasing attention... Read More about Review of García (2019): The Neurocognition of Translation and Interpreting.

This paper investigates the interaction between translators’ perceived translation problems and their online consultation behaviours, and how different consultation behaviours affect translation acceptability. Previous studies indicate that online co... Read More about Consultation behaviour with online resources in English-Chinese translation: an eye-tracking, screen-recording and retrospective study.
