Eyetracking and Applied Linguistics

Silvia Hansen-Schirra   Sambor Grucza  

Synopsis

Eyetracking has become a powerful tool in scientific research and has finally found its way into disciplines such as applied linguistics and translation studies, paving the way for new insights and challenges in these fields. The aim of the first International Conference on Eyetracking and Applied Linguistics (ICEAL) was to bring together researchers who use eyetracking to empirically answer their research questions. It was intended to bridge the gaps between applied linguistics, translation studies, cognitive science and computational linguistics on the one hand and to further encourage innovative research methodologies and data triangulation on the other hand. These challenges are also addressed in this proceedings volume: While the studies described in the volume deal with a wide range of topics, they all agree on eyetracking as an appropriate methodology in empirical research.

Therefore, the articles are easily understandable and include extensive relevant references. All the contributions are not only interesting reads; many of them, in particular Chapter 7, are very important to translation and eye tracking research. ...
