Krings' PhD discusses thoroughly the methodological foundations of verbal report methods and describes the translational behaviour of eight subjects. The subjects are all German students of French as a foreign language (FL), i.e. non-professional translators. The data include translation processes into the subjects' mother tongue and into the foreign language. Analyses cover the subjects' use of time and reference books, the nature of the problems which the subjects encounter as well as the problem-solving strategies that they use.
