Abstract
Based on sorne common traits of situated, embodied, and distributed cognition, ten suggestions for a functionalist, cognitive translatology are proposed. This framework views translating as an interpersonal activity focused on creative imitation. It also adopts a developmental perspective on the empirical, ecological, and psychologically realistic study of expertise and suggests that expertise and proceduralization should be top priorities in empirical research. The framework also considers that there is an urgent need to establish experimental paradigms to foster the interplay between theory and research in cognitive translatology. The paper concludes with suggesti~ns for establishing general research standards against which individual research projects in the field can be evaluated.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
