Translation Quality Assessment: Past and Present

Abstract

In this chapter I first give a brief overview of different approaches to translation evaluation. Secondly, I sketch some ways of drawing on recent developments in the language sciences to improve translation evaluation procedures. Concretely, I suggest that translation quality assessment might benefit from contrastive pragmatic discourse studies involving many different lingua-cultures, corpus-linguistic approaches to validate translation evaluations by relating them to comparable and reference corpora, psycho-linguistic and socio-psychological approaches to complement corpus-based methods and integrate product-based and process-based approaches including accounts of translation in process via computer monitoring as well as recent neuro-linguistic and assessment work. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
