Abstract

This doctoral dissertation focuses on three main areas: methodology in TAP research, cognition in translation processes (types of knowledge used), and affect in translation processes (personal involvement in the task). The data include TAPs from eight subjects: four professional and four non-professional translators who translated a short English text into the subjects' mother tongue (Finnish).
