“…Technological developments and a globalised network economy have led to a diversification of tasks, tools, work processes and cooperation forms. In view of this complexity, Alves and da Silva ( , 2022 conclude not only that "a great deal of adaptive expertise" (2022, 154) is needed but also that it is "implausible to come up with external ranking criteria to define outstanding performance" (2022, 154) and even "defining expertise in translation i[s] an impossible endeavor from the perspective of a profession or a task" (2022,155).…”

“…In CTS, workplace studies are often based on a situated, 4EA approach to cogni-1. Readers familiar with the 4EA approach to cognition (embodied, embedded, extended, enacted and affective) might wonder why Alves and da Silva ( , 2022 choose the term SDE (situated, distributed and extended) instead of 4EA. An explanation can be found in a different text (Alves & Jakobsen 2021, 550): "We suggest that several of the labels used to describe 4EA cognition (embodied, embedded, extended, enacted and affective) as well as situated and distributed cognition are somewhat redundant for CTS.…”

Translation expertise has been discussed intensely in (cognitive) translation studies. Most research has been conducted in laboratory settings, attempting to discern the differences between experienced translators (‘experts’) and lesser experienced translators. This has resulted in valuable, yet limited insights. We argue for the need to complement the picture with a broader perspective on translation expertise and to further investigate it in its authentic dynamic contexts, be they workplaces or other fields of practice. This implies seeing expertise as situated and performative, emerging from the interaction of social actors with their social and material environments. Emphasis is placed on the social, discursive construction of expertise and on the emic perspectives of the community being studied.

Interpreters work in increasingly technologized environments, with access to hardware and software prior to and during the interpreting task, which can support their work in a variety of ways. Some of these tools are used prior to the interpreting task as a means to prepare materials, terminology, and resources that can be later used while interpreting. Other tools seek to support interpreters while interpreting, including automated speech recognition systems, digital recording materials, and digital pens, to allow interpreters to augment their ability to process information and potentially enhance their performance. The presence and use of these technologies ultimately alters and influences the work of interpreters, particularly since these tools can extend and distribute cognitive processes and resources across multiple interpreters and technologies. This chapter takes a socio-cognitive perspective on interpreting in order to more closely examine the interaction of technology and interpreter cognition, focusing on several interrelated constructs of interpreting, namely embedded and embodied cognition, extended cognition, and distributed cognition. These cognitive frameworks, which are often collectively referred to as situated or 4EA cognition, illustrate the importance of recognizing the contextualized and situated nature of interpreting with respect to technologies used to support interpreters in their work.
