Call Deadline: 15-Oct-2025

Call for Papers:
Translation and interpreting (T&I) process studies have traditionally
applied methods from psycholinguistics and cognitive psychology to
shed light on the processes and behaviours underlying various tasks of
mediated communication. Recently, there has been a call for a more
holistic approach to the study of T&I (Halverson, 2021; Mellinger,
2023) with the development of socio-cognitive approaches, which
primarily borrow methods from sociolinguistics to explore the
socio-cognitive processes of translators and interpreters in
naturalistic settings (Risku & Rogl, 2021). Researchers have, for
instance, investigated the use of technology in the workplace within
the framework of extended and distributed cognition (Sannholm & Risku,
2024). This reflects a broader shift in interest towards the
multimodal aspects of the T&I process, no longer only in written
translation, dialogue interpreting and sign language interpreting
(Tiselius & Dimitrova, 2021; De Boe et al., 2024), but now also in
hybrid tasks, such as sight interpreting/translation and simultaneous
interpreting with text (Chmiel & Lijewska, 2023; Robert et al. 2024).
This new line of research inherently places great emphasis on the
real-life relevance of empirical findings, raising significant
questions about the implications of this research for professional
practice and training (Rojo & Muñoz, 2022).
This conference invites researchers to present their work contributing
to the investigation and to a deeper understanding of T&I process
research. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited
to, multimodality, (socio-)cognitive processes, and the application of
empirical T&I process studies.
More specifically, we welcome papers on the following topics:
 - Empirical investigations of the processes involved in T&I as
multimodal activities, such as technology-assisted T&I, localization,
audiovisual translation, dialogue interpreting, and sign language
interpreting
 - Empirical explorations of the processes involved in hybrid T&I
tasks and settings, such as sight interpreting/translation and
simultaneous interpreting with text
 - Empirical investigations of critical concepts and constructs, such
as cognitive load, default translation, and strategies
 - Innovative research methods and analytical lenses to the study of
the T&I process, such as socio-cognitive and corpus-based approaches,
as well as mixed- or multi-method perspectives
 - T&I process research applications in professional practice, in
training, etc.
Plenary speakers:
Rhona Amos (University of Geneva)
Esther de Boe (University of Antwerp)
Raphael Sannholm (Stockholm University)
Pre-conference Workshop:
On 6 May 2026, a pre-conference workshop will be organised on “Eye
tracking as a tool in psycholinguistic approaches to T&I process
research”. The workshop will be hosted by Ena Hodzik (University of
Mons) and Rhona Amos (University of Geneva) and is open to both
early-career researchers and senior colleagues. Participants can sign
up for either the pre-conference workshop or the conference, or for
both.
The workshop aims to introduce the different ways in which eye
tracking can be used for research purposes, examining the questions to
be asked when (i) designing the experiment and collecting the data
with Experiment Builder; and (ii) processing the data and analysing
the results in DataViewer and R Studio. The workshop will cover the
physiological, methodological, and technical foundations of eye
tracking. Particular attention will be paid to the paradigms most
frequently used in translation and interpreting process studies,
including the visual world paradigm (in simultaneous conference
interpreting) and reading tasks (for written or sight translation).
The workshop will feature concrete examples and laboratory exercises
with an EyeLink Portable Duo eye tracker.
Submission Guidelines:
Please send your anonymised abstracts (max. 500 words, excl.
references) as an MS Word attachment to
tripsconference2026 at umons.ac.be by 15 October 2025. Authors are
allowed to submit a maximum of two abstracts if at least one of these
is co-authored. All abstracts will undergo double-blind peer review.
Accepted paper presentations will be allocated 20 minutes, followed by
10 minutes for discussion.
