Abstract

The article focuses on a research study that provides a behavioristic analysis of acts of translation and interpretation (ATIs), emphasizing the significance of historical and current contexts in achieving shared meaning among involved parties. Conducted by researchers at the University of Nevada Reno, the study summarizes B.F. Skinner's insights on ATIs and explores how contextual similarities between speakers/writers and listeners/readers influence understanding. The research distinguishes between translation (written stimuli) and interpretation (spoken/gestural stimuli), highlighting the implications for communication across different languages. The findings have been peer-reviewed and contribute to the field of verbal behavior research. [Extracted from the article]
