Abstract

This chapter reviews the existing literature on behavioral styles in translation and interpreting. First, the concept of translation styles in the present study is presented in Sect. 3.1, followed by the descriptions of the features of sight translation in Sect. 3.2. Section 3.3 considers behavioral styles in a global level, from the perspectives of translation stages, interdependency of behaviors , and coordination between comprehension and production. Section 3.4 continues the review on previous studies related to behavioral styles at a local level, from the aspects of problem identification behaviors , problem-solving behaviors , and the influence of problems on coordination behaviors . The chapter closes in Sect. 3.5 with a review on studies of behavioral patterns between novice and professional interpreters and translators in Sect. 3.5.
