2023 Cognitive translation and interpreting studies in the early twenty first century Cognitive Translation and Interpreting Studies in the Early Twenty First Century, García, Adolfo M., Edinson Muñoz and Néstor Singer (eds.), pp. 109–117 | Introduction
2020 From dawn to dusk: Cognitive changes in simultaneous interpreters across their professional lives Translation, Cognition & Behavior 3:2, pp. 233–240 | Article
This piece introduces a lifespan perspective on cognitive changes associated with sustained practice of simultaneous interpreting. First, I briefly describe the elevated demands posed by this activity in training and work settings. Second, I argue that a broad lifespan perspective on it requires… read more
2016 Processes and verbs of doing, in the brain: Theoretical implications for Systemic Functional Linguistics Functions of Language 23:3, pp. 305–335 | Article
Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) has long been characterized by its openness towards contributions from other fields. However, it has remained virtually uninformed by neuroscience. Such a disconnection has become all the more unfortunate since SFL ventured into the cognitive domain (Halliday… read more
2016 A neuroscientific toolkit for translation studies Reembedding Translation Process Research, Muñoz Martín, Ricardo (ed.), pp. 21–46 | Article
Cognitive approaches in translation studies have long incorporated methods from other fields, including linguistics, psychology, and computer science. Despite their major contributions, such approaches are mostly uninformative about the neural systems in which translation and interpreting processes… read more
2015 Psycholinguistic explorations of lexical translation equivalents: Thirty years of research and their implications for cognitive translatology Translation as a cognitive activity, Alves, Fabio, Amparo Hurtado Albir and Isabel Lacruz (eds.), pp. 9–28 | Article
This paper reviews psycholinguistic research on lexical translation equivalents to show how accumulating evidence constrained successive models of interlingual processing. Three stages are identified in the development of the field. First, in the foundational era, three initial models of… read more
2014 The interpreter advantage hypothesis: Preliminary data patterns and empirically motivated questions Translation and Interpreting Studies 9:2, pp. 219–238 | Article
The ‘interpreter advantage hypothesis’ posits that task-specific cognitive skills developed by professional interpreters (PIs) generalize to more efficient linguistic and executive abilities in non-interpreting tasks. This paper reviews relevant studies in order to establish preliminary data… read more
2008 The Circumscribed Infinites Scheme (CIS): A deconstructive approach to translating poetry Target 20:1, pp. 115–134 | Article
The purpose of this paper is twofold: on the one hand, it seeks to introduce and explain the CIS (Circumscribed Infinites Scheme), a deconstructive scheme for translating poetry; and, on the other, it aims at analyzing the scheme’s impact on the translation into English of a variety of poems by… read more
