Abstract Details

2017, PHD, Kent State University, College of Arts and Sciences / Department of Modern and Classical Language Studies.
This dissertation describes the evolution of Cognitive Translation Studies (CTS) from the perspective of the Philosophy of Science and examines how to differentiate and choose when faced with two or more competing constructs in an interdisciplinary research enterprise. The work of Larry Laudan is applied to develop a set of criteria to assess conceptual performance. These criteria are applied in two brief case studies analyzing and comparing milestone constructs in the field: translation expertise and translation competence, and translation expertise and situated translation and interpreting expertise (STIE). This study contributes new perspectives to describe the evolution of Cognitive Translation Studies, stressing that scientific progress is interactive and plural, and proposing a shared, comparative conceptual performance model to help CTS scholars navigate that plurality.
