“…We will add to these views by offering yet another account in five stages, conscious as we are that none of these accounts can on its own fully explain the rich and complex conceptual development of our thriving research realm. Our story starts when a bunch of scholars, mainly linguists, takes up the challenge handed out to them by the ALPAC report explaining how human beings translate (Muñoz, 2016a).…”

“…As in previous stages, a new period may have started with a symposium, held at Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in 2015 (Muñoz, 2016a) where researchers working on classical approaches together with others focused on ergonomics, human-computer interaction, addressees' reception, cognitive aspects of dialogue interpreting and qualitative approaches staged the widening of TPR into CTIS. In 2014, the Centre for Studies of Translation, Interpreting and Cognition (CSTIC) of the University of Macau had opened its doors, and has ever since carried out formidable work in expanding CTIS throughout continental China.…”

Several indicators seem to suggest that, through nearly six decades of development, Cognitive Translation Studies (CTS) may be taking shape as an autonomous field of study. The main challenges ahead seem to be building sounder theoretical models and carrying out more rigorous methodological scrutiny. These two strands converge as central themes in the 11 contributions to this special issue of LANS-TTS. To provide a context for theoretical modelling and to frame critical discussions of the methods included in this volume, we first trace the present landscape of CTS and how it evolved so as to test Holmes’ criteria for disciplines: founding new channels of communication and sharing a “disciplinary utopia”. The contributions are arranged into four thematic categories as applied to CTS, namely, scientometrics, framing or reframing our field, the reliability and validity of popular research methods, and new methods or novel approaches. This article closes with a call to reflect on some fundamental issues on the next steps of humankind regarding communication, with ever-growing societal demands and expectations that call for refreshing our notions of translation in the context of increasingly diversified forms of multilectal mediated communication.

It has progressed 'from the microlevel of solving linguistic challenges to the macro level of the influence of societal expectations on translatorial decisions' (Ehrensberger-Dow et al, 2017, p. 116), re-embedding translation in its real-life environments and entering a new paradigm of cognitive translatology that is driven by an embodied, embedded, extended and enacted approach to the way the mind works (Muñoz Martín, 2016).…”

“…This shift has been particularly evident in cognitive studies of translation and interpreting. Halverson and Muñoz Martín (2020), for instance, note that "CTIS [Cognitive Translation and Interpreting Studies] researchers are now focusing on all agents, factors, [and] aspects of translation events" (see also Muñoz Martín, 2016). Some of this research is being carried out using ethnographic methods in authentic contexts of action.…”

Whereas traditional methods of translation process research aim predominantly at fulfilling the requirements for controlled scientific experiments, shifts towards embodiment and situatedness at a conceptual level require methodological innovations for the analysis of cognitive processes as embedded in their relevant environments. In this article, we concentrate on one of the main challenges in the ethnographic study of translation processes in the translation workplace: the relationship between the researchers and the participants. Drawing on data from a multiple case study, we investigate the perceived role of the researchers and the mutual expectations of both the observers and the observed. In doing so, we examine the attitudes of translators and translation project managers towards researchers in a series of different work settings. Our results indicate that the enquirer posture imposed on the researchers by some participants corresponds with the formers’ planned methodological and epistemological approaches, as do their expected trade-offs. Others, in turn, differ substantially from the researchers in their expectations. Based on our own experience and subsequent reflections, we argue that fostering connections between translation scholars and practitioners may contribute to overcoming some of the methodological challenges of ethnographic research in Translation Studies.
