La investigación de las diferencias individuales en traductología cognitiva

Abstract

The increasing number of process-oriented empirical studies in translatology in recent years (Rodrigues, 2002), has highlighted the need to further analyze subjective and personality traits of research participants, in an effort to understand the high degree of variability detected among them (Jääskeläinen, 2000). Previous research on individual differences in translatology is reviewed prior to the introduction of the basic concepts underlying the specialized branch of psychology which studies human variability. Finally, a preliminar methodological framework which could foster the development of this area of study within our discipline and enrich current research study designs is presented.
