Abstract

Research into translation processes is part of descriptive, experimental and theoretical studies that need to be examined from a historical and critical standpoint. An epistemological perspective helps to assess the contribution of such studies – in particular process-oriented ones – to the construction of theoretical and explanatory models in translation. This article includes a segment of think-aloud protocol, which leads to a discussion of the main problems researchers have in providing scientific explanations of the comprehension process in translation.
