2012 Multivariate analyses of affix productivity in translated English Quantitative Methods in Corpus-Based Translation Studies: A practical guide to descriptive translation research, Oakes, Michael P. and Meng Ji (eds.), pp. 301–324 | Article
The productivity and use of derivational affixes in translated English is studied by means of three multivariate techniques: factor analysis, principal component analysis, and correspondence analysis. We argue that principal component analysis and correspondence analysis are the techniques best… read more
2011 Process and product in simultaneous interpreting: What they tell us about experience and expertise Methods and Strategies of Process Research: Integrative approaches in Translation Studies, Alvstad, Cecilia, Adelina Hild and Elisabet Tiselius (eds.), pp. 269–300 | Article
The expertise approach (Ericsson 2008) has been used to explore the competence of translators and interpreters since the mid-1990s, and is now a well established sub-field in translation and interpreting process research (Jääskeläinen 2010). In the area of interpreting, Ivanova (1999), Liu (2001)… read more
