摘要：20世纪80年代以来;西方翻译界逐渐从认知角度关注译者的动态心理过程;在研究方法上趋于重视实证研究。认知科学为翻译过程实证研究的发展提供了强大的动力。基于研究的工具、焦点及其与认知科学的结合程度等;可将西方的过程实证研究分为三大阶段;各阶段有其鲜明的研究特点。从总体看;认知科学与翻译学的结合为人类认识翻译认知心理活动的本质提供了全新视野;但也呈现出一些值得关注的问题。深入了解西方翻译过程研究的前沿动态对于推动我国的翻译认知过程研究发展具有重要意义。

Starting in the 1980s,translation studies in the west have been increasingly emphasizing the development of an empirical paradigm with a particular effort to investigate the internal translation processes by adopting methods from cognitive sciences.This paper reviews the development of process-oriented cognitive translation studies in the west over the past 30 years and divides it into three major stages with consideration of differences in research methods,research focus,and the extent of interdisciplinary cooperation between translation studies and cognitive sciences.The paper concludes by pointing out limitations of current process research and offering suggestions for future development while acknowledging the extraordinary promises of the area.
