基于Translog的翻译停顿行为研究路径分析

Study on Research Paths of Pause in Translation Process Based on Translog

Translog能记录译者键盘和鼠标动作,同时兼容眼动仪再现眼球运动轨迹。它可通过5种路径来提供停顿行为数据,如录屏重放、线性表示、停顿图、XML文档以及眼动仪。5种研究路径各有所长:录屏重放能够动态重现所有停顿行为,线性表示直接显示停顿时长和位置,停顿图能够显示停顿行为全貌,XML文档具体到每个时间节点,眼动数据则揭示键盘或鼠标停顿时的认知聚焦所在。研究者可根据需求选择某一路径或综合运用多种路径,采集停顿行为数据。

Translog can obtain a complete record of keyboard action and mouse click, at the same time, it can work with eye track to present the process of eye movement, which provides at least five data sources for pause in translation, namely replay of the recordings, linear review, pause plot, XML file and data generated by eye tracking. Replay of the recording can demonstrate the whole process, linear review uncovers the length and location of pause, pause plot presents a sketch, XML file provides fine-grained data about pause, eye tracking discloses what the translators are focusing on cognitively during the pause. The researchers are advised to choose one or a combination of the five according to their research questions.
