Lexical density, lexical diversity, and lexical sophistication in simultaneously interpreted texts: a cognitive perspective

Zhibo Liu,
Juhua Dou

Abstract: Simultaneous interpreting (SI) is a cognitively demanding task that imposes a heavy cognitive load on interpreters. Interpreting into one’s native (A language) or non-native language (B language), known as interpreting directionality, involves different cognitive demands. The cognitive requirements of simultaneous interpreting as well as interpreting directionality affect the interpreting process and product. This current study focused on the lexical features of a specially designed corpus of United Nations Se… Show more

“…According to Zhang et al (2020), low lexical diversity is linked to limited linguistic exposure and the nature of lexical learning. Liu and Dou (2023) supported this by noting that a low lexical diversity score indicates a high level of lexical repetitiveness and a limited range of vocabulary choices. These findings imply that enhancing lexical diversity in learners' writing requires exposing them to a broader range of vocabulary and encouraging varied word usage to reduce repetition and improve overall language proficiency.…”
