Towards a new linguistic-cognitive orientation in translation studies
Juliane House | University of Hamburg, Germany
A new linguistic-cognitive orientation in translation studies is important today because it can complement the current strong wave of socially and culturally oriented research into and around translation. For balance, it is also necessary and insightful to describe and explain how strategies of comprehending, decision-making and re-verbalisation come about in a translator’s bilingual mind. In this chapter I sketch some ideas about such a new linguistic-cognitive approach. I first review introspective and retrospective studies and behavioural experiments. Secondly, I assess the value of neuro-linguistic studies for translation. Thirdly, I suggest a new combination of a translation theory and a neuro-functional theory of bilingualism.
Keywords: consciousness, introspection, neuro-linguistic studies, neuro-linguistic theory of bilingualism, overt and covert translation, pragmatics, systemic-functional translation theory
