Cognitive Processing Routes in Consecutive Interpreting

Focusing on the dynamics of translation, this book explores the dominant processing routes in English-Chinese and Chinese-English consecutive interpretations, highlighting the tension between form-based and meaning-based approaches. Through a corpus-assisted study, it analyzes interpreting patterns of culture-specific items and identifies four influencing factors: linguistic variables, type of CSI, language direction, and extra-linguistic context. This systematic introduction to translation process research offers valuable insights for readers interested in the field without requiring neuroscientific methodologies.
