Abstract:

Empirical research is carried out in a cyclic way: approaching a research area
bottom-up, data lead to interpretations and ideally to the abstraction of
laws, on the basis of which a theory can be derived. Deductive research is
based on a theory, on the basis of which hypotheses can be formulated and
tested against the background of empirical data. Looking at the
state-of-the-art in translation studies, either theories as well as models are
designed or empirical data are collected and interpreted. However, the final
step is still lacking: so far, empirical data has not lead to the formulation
of theories or models, whereas existing theories and models have not yet been
comprehensively tested with empirical methods.

This publication addresses these issues from several perspectives:
multi-method product- as well as process-based research may gain insights into
translation as well as interpreting phenomena. These phenomena may include
cognitive and organizational processes, procedures and strategies, competence
and performance, translation properties and universals, etc. Empirical
findings about the deeper structures of translation and interpreting will
reduce the gap between translation and interpreting practice and model and
theory building. Furthermore, the availability of more large-scale empirical
testing triggers the development of models and theories concerning translation
and interpreting phenomena and behavior based on quantifiable, replicable and
transparent data.
