“…These (adapted) theoretical proposals by cognitive-translation scholars have contributed to a general understanding of translation processes. Second, TPR development has been aided by advances in technologies used to collect different types of data to directly or indirectly examine the brain during translating tasks, e.g., corpus technology, Translog, eye trackers, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI; Liu and Zhou, 2021;Schwieter and Ferreira, 2017). By using these instruments, observational data can be gathered (e.g., corpora, behavioral, and neurological data) on which reasonable estimations may be made.…”

This paper investigates recent developments in translation process research (TPR) as an emerging sub-discipline of descriptive translation studies by surveying articles published from 2005–2019 in special issues of eight major translation/linguistic journals. The overall trend in the field is first presented, followed by a systematic analysis of the articles in terms of authorship, regional distribution, themes, and methodology. To perform the thematic analysis, a three-layer classification system was developed, which includes the type of translation tasks, the type of study (theoretical/review or data-based research articles), and specific topics addressed in each article. This article presents distribution within each category and sub-category, followed by a discussion of trends and future research directions. The major findings are: 1) 61.36% of the articles in the database were single authored while UK and Spain had the highest number of authored publications; 2) 77.27% of the articles focused on written translation tasks, and 34.09% of the research articles were dedicated to new topics in TPR; 3) 59.38% of the publications employed more than one research method. The outcomes of this study allow future researchers investigating translation processes, such as the specific and in-depth analysis of theoretical models and the combined use of experimental and naturalistic methods, to expand the research landscape and pursue new methodological innovations.
