Conflicting findings are reported for New Englishes and Learner Englishes:similarities are identified mainly on psycholinguistic grounds and differences on sociolinguistic grounds. This chapter offers an analysis of the progressive form in Black South African English, in which the interaction… read more
2016 Fluency/resistancy and domestication/foreignisation: A cognitive perspective Target 28:1, pp. 4–41 | Article
This paper argues for the addition of a cognitive perspective to the concepts of fluency/resistancy and domestication/foreignisation. Given the disjunctions between the ontological levels (and analytical levels of specificity) implied in these concepts (cognitive, linguistic and socio-cultural),… read more
2016 Constrained language: A multidimensional analysis of translated English and a non-native indigenised variety of English English World-Wide 37:1, pp. 26–57 | Article
Translation and non-native indigenised varieties of English are produced in contexts where heightened constraints operate on them. Recurrent features of translated language include explicitation, normalisation or conventionalisation, simplification, and homogenisation. Similar features in… read more

2015 Using the features of translated language to investigate translation expertise: A corpus-based study International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 20:3, pp. 293–325 | Article
The study reported on in this article set out to test the hypothesis that linguistic operationalisations of the features of translated language will demonstrate significant differences in the work of experienced and inexperienced translators. A custom-built comparable English corpus was used,… read more

The tension between domesticating and foreignising translation strategies is particularly strongly felt in the translation of children’s literature, and has been a key issue in many studies of such literature. However, despite the pervasiveness of the concepts, there is little existing empirical… read more
2012 A corpus-based study of the mediation effect in translated and edited language Target 24:2, pp. 355–388 | Article
This paper presents the results of a study investigating the hypothesis that the recurrent features, or universals, of translated language are primarily the result of a mediation process that is shared among different kinds of mediated language, rather than the particularities of bilingual language… read more
