Today, we will talk about the origins of cognitive translation studies and then focus on keylogging as a tool to infer mental activity during translation. Our guest will be Professor Arnt Jakobsen, a leading cognitive translation scholar and the creator of the most widely used keylogging software in the field: Translog.
