Cognitive Processing Routes in Consecutive Interpreting

This book explores the complexities of SL-TL transfer in translation, focusing on the dominant processing routes in English-Chinese and Chinese-English consecutive interpretations. Through a corpus-assisted study, it analyzes interpreting patterns of culture-specific items (CSIs) and identifies that the preferred route varies based on factors such as linguistic complexity, type of CSI, language direction, and the context of the interpretation. It offers valuable insights for those interested in translation process research without relying on neuroscientific methods.
