Translation of Thought to Written Text While Composing [EPUB ebook] 
Advancing Theory, Knowledge, Research Methods, Tools, and Applications

Translation of cognitive representations into written language is one of the most important processes in writing. This volume provides a long-awaited updated overview of the field.The contributors discuss each of the commonly used research methods for studying translation; theorize about the nature of the cognitive and language representations and cognitive/linguistic transformation mechanisms involved in translation during writing; and make the case that translation is a higher-order executive function that is fundamental to the writing process.The book also reviews the application of research to practice — that is, the translation of the research findings in education and the work-world for individuals who interact with others using written language to communicate ideas.This volume provides a rich resource for student, theorists, and empirical researchers in cognitive psychology, linguistics, and education; and teachers and clinicians who can use the research in their work.
