Using Translation Process Methods in Audiovisual Translation and Media Accessibility Research
Anna Jankowska (University of Antwerp, Belgium) gave this lecture at the LEAD ME Summer Training School Warsaw 2021 online.
Different AVT (e.g., subtitling, dubbing, voice-over) and MA (e.g. audio description, subtitling for the deaf and hard of hearing) modes may be defined both as product and process. While there is a growing body of research into AVT&MA products, the process is still unexplored. Translation Process Research (TPR) essentially “seeks to answer one basic question: by what observable and presumed mental processes do translators arrive at their translations?” (Jakobsen, 2017, p. 21). To answer this question TPR uses a wide range of research methods which draw from psychology, corpus linguistics, psycholinguistics, anthropology, neuroscience, and writing research. In this session we will present the different methods (e.g. think aloud protocol, screen recording, keylogging, heart rate variability) used in TPR research and discuss how they can be applied to AVT&MA.
