The neurocognition of translation and interpreting This work offers a comprehensive account of brain based research on translation and interpreting. First the volume introduces the methodological and conceptual pillars of psychobiological approaches vis à vis those of other cognitive frameworks. Next it systematizes neuropsychological neuroscientific and behavioral evidence on key topics including the lateralization of networks subserving cross linguistic processes; their relation with other linguistic mechanisms; the functional organization and temporal dynamics of the circuits engaged by different translation directions processing levels and source language units; the systems susceptibility to training induced plasticity; and the outward correlates of its main operations. Lastly the book discusses the fields accomplishments strengths weaknesses and requirements. Its authoritative yet picturesque didactic style renders it accessible to researchers in cognitive translatology bilingualism and neurolinguistics as well as teachers and practitioners in related areas. Succinctly this piece establishes a much needed platform for translation and interpreting studies to fruitfully interact with cognitive neuroscience
