International Symposium on Translation and Interpreting as Social Interaction:

It is widely accepted that translators and interpreters do not work in
isolation but “in a wider social context, interacting with other agents and
with information technology” (Shih 2017: 50; See also Wang & Wang 2019). As in
any effective social interaction, three components underpin translators and
interpreters’ daily activities. As in any effective social interaction, three
components underpin translators and interpreters’ daily activities. They are:
affect, behaviour and cognition (Spooner 1989).

Cognition is defined as ‘the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge
and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses’ (Oxford
Dictionary 2019). In translation and interpreting, this often refers to the
mental procedure of how translators and interpreters acquire and store
information, and consequently plan and execute
translation and interpreting activities, often under the constraints of
limited resources and
situational context. With an accumulation of these ongoing mental processing
throughout
translators and interpreters’ experience and career, perception, schemata and
understanding are gradually developed, which consequently guide their
behaviours. Whist often overlooked, affect, which refers to translators’ and
interpreters’ emotion and feeling, is tightly interwoven into the fabrics of
translation and interpreters’ cognition and behaviour.

To understand the entirety and complexity of translation and interpreting as
social interaction, it is important to explore the interplay between
translators’ and interpreters’ affect, behaviour and cognition, be it from the
theoretical, empirical, or methodological perspective.
