Question

Hi! I want to synchronize eye-tracking data and EEG data to investigate translators' cognitive effort in reading and transferring processes but I have little knowledge about EEG. I have read some journal papers in other fields that employ EEG in their experiment but they are vague and unclear so I want specifically more detailed introduction to its application in translation studies. Is there any book that talks about EEG application in translation and interpretation studies like Walker and Federici's (2018) book Eye Tracking and Multidisciplinary Studies on Translation which tells us how to better apply eye-tracking in TIS?
If no, how about some authoritative journal papers?
Thanks so much!😊
Relevant answer
Answer
You might also want to have a look at the work of Adolfo M. García, ORCID 0000-0002-6936-0114. Prof García is probably the best specialist on the combination of eyetracking and EEG to study translators ans interpreters at their tasks

If my sample size is 30 participants and I want to show an effect size of 0.8, for example, how many images/cases would I need in my image bank?
Is there an equation or method of looking at different combinations of sample size, effect size and image bank size?
Many thanks.

The topic of personality research has recently gained much popularity in Translation and Interpreting Studies, but it still lacks profoundness in many respects. Personality traits, cognitive styles and types - are they decisive in translation performance? Can we claim that translators are who they are and do what they do because they possess a set of certain personality traits that in their turn trigger certain behavioral patterns, i.e. cognitive types? I'd really appreciate your comments. Thank you!
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Olha,
In my PhD dissertation, I worked on the impact of cognitive style on cognitive processes, ranging from low-level perception, to high-level decision making, and finally to language comprehension.
I have to say that yes, the cognitive style works significantly. Yet, I could not predict whether personality would play its significant role in interpreting. Since personality is very much multi-dimensional, and probably we need to focus on some specific dimensions to gradually move forward in this area of research.
Good luck with your research.
Best,
Junying

I'm working on my dissertation, I'm an undergrad student. I'm interested in Interpeting / Interpretation studies. I need to find a linguistic support on how notions about orality, or spoken word affect the general opinion about what interpreters do. Word has it that if a job is mainly about speaking, it can't be that hard.
Relevant answer
Answer
Good day,
After carefully re-reading your question, I believe I understand what you are after. You have heard that people generally suppose interpreting (speech) to be easier than translating (text) -is that it? And you are looking for discussion of this issue in some clearly formulated linguistic framework. Have I got that right? Please confirm.
True regards,
J.F.

I am trying to know what are the main factors which can make a good translator, the practice or the education? 
Any one who masters languages can be a good translator, just by practice or he has to take a degree in translation?
Books, articles or any source .
Relevant answer
Answer
And my personal opinion, based on my experience as a professional translator and a student of translation: you need an excellent command of the language into which you are translating (your native tongue, normally), as well as an excellent understanding of the language you are translating from and the cultural context. The more experience and knowledge you have of things other than languages and translation, the better. As your own knowledge increases (knowledge of the world, business, the subject area that you choose as your specialisation, translation strategies and how to handle translation problems, and generally of Everything), so will your ability to translate will improve, i.e. to understand your source and the needs of your client, and to restate them in your target language in an appropriate (and maybe even inspired) fashion.

I want to measure how easy/difficult a legal translated text is to a defendant whose only medium of reception of the text is the auditory channel. I am familiar with the Flesch readability formula but I was wondering if there are better ways to do it?
Relevant answer
Answer
A readability formula is not designed to measure comprehension. Readability formulas are designed for writers who are attempting to reach a certain audience. The nature of legal documents, as Marta Chroma mentions makes comprehension a challenge even for native speakers. The easiest way to measure listening comprehension of this type of text (i.e. jury instructions or warnings) is to have the subject retell what he or she has understood, perhaps in his or her native language. You may want to design a rubric with essential elements of the text, and qualitatively determine to what degree the listener has included those elements in his or her retelling.
