The volume builds on the notion of triangulatio n, i.e., the combined use of different methods of data elicitation and anal yses, to discuss methodological issues and actual experimental methods in t he field of translation process research. Grouped in three parts, the seven contributions raise issues concerned, among others, with the translation-p ragmatics interface, the role of inter-subjectivity, the attempts at modeli ng what accounts for translation competence, and the effect of think-aloud on translation speed, revision, and segmentation. The volume also examines the process of translation in terms of relevant measurements which can vali date some of the instruments used in the triangulation approach and fosters the application of triangulation as a pedagogical instrument to be applied to translators' training. The book will certainly find an audience among t ranslation scholars doing experimental work and students and practitioners interested in capturing the translation process.
