Bøger i TransÜD ¿ Arbeiten zur Theorie und Praxis des Übersetzens und Dolmetschens, Bd. 108 serien

Taking the perspective of others is central to translation. But does translation train this uniquely human capacity? This book introduces the concept of Theory of Mind (ToM) to model one of the central features of translation, the meta-representation of others, and presents three innovative studies which investigate the question using brain scans, eye-tracking and key-logging to shed new light on the role of non-linguistic macro-competences on the trans­lation process.
