Abstract:

This groundbreaking work offers a comprehensive account of brain-based
research on translation and interpreting. First, the volume introduces the
methodological and conceptual pillars of psychobiological approaches vis-à-vis
those of other cognitive frameworks. Next, it systematizes neuropsychological,
neuroscientific, and behavioral evidence on key topics, including the
lateralization of networks subserving cross-linguistic processes; their
relation with other linguistic mechanisms; the functional organization and
temporal dynamics of the circuits engaged by different translation directions,
processing levels, and source-language units; the system’s susceptibility to
training-induced plasticity; and the outward correlates of its main
operations. Lastly, the book discusses the field’s accomplishments, strengths,
weaknesses, and requirements. Its authoritative yet picturesque, didactic
style renders it accessible to researchers in cognitive translatology,
bilingualism, and neurolinguistics, as well as teachers and practitioners in
related areas. Succinctly, this piece establishes a much-needed platform for
translation and interpreting studies to fruitfully interact with cognitive
neuroscience.
