Evolution, Challenges, and Perspectives for Research on Cognitive Aspects of Translation

Abstract

This chapter aims to overview developments in research on cognitive aspects of translation and present a concise evolution of its unfolding to focus on current challenges and perspectives that lie ahead to allow the field to expand further. The discipline of translation studies has seen a great interest in the study of cognitive aspects of translation. Research on this topic has focused primarily on three interrelated fields, namely, the translation process, translation competence, and the acquisition of translation competence. The chapter presents a short overview of each one of these fields and describes the evolution of research with a focus on its distinct yet interrelated stages. It highlights the seminal importance of research on cognitive aspects of translation carried out over the last decades and, in particular, of research developed since the 1980s.
