1 Introduction

Translation research in the 21st century has undergone a cognitive shift, integrating interdisciplinary perspectives to form Translation Cognitive Studies (CTS). CTS focuses on the translation process and essence, but there is still no consensus in the field regarding the research system, theoretical framework, and other aspects. The Lauterbach Handbook of Translation and Cognition was born, commissioned by Professors Jacobson and Alves, bringing together leading scholars in the field to write 30 chapters. It systematically reviews the development process, achievements, theoretical development, and methodological advancement of CTS, and looks forward to future directions. The manual has become an important guide in the field of CTS, providing a research roadmap for both new and old researchers, and also inspiring research in related fields.

2 Main contents

The book "Lauterbach's Handbook of Translation and Cognition" delves into various aspects of translation and cognitive research. The book is divided into four parts, each containing different chapters covering a wide range of topics from basic theory to interdisciplinary research, to cognitive processing types and future prospects.

3 Brief Reviews

As an authoritative work in the field of translation cognition research, the "Lauterbach Handbook on Translation and Cognition" features a comprehensive display of the development achievements of translation cognition research, in-depth exploration of cutting-edge topics and interdisciplinary research paths in translation cognition, and systematic exploration of the construction of the translation cognition research system and theoretical framework. The book provides readers with rich research perspectives and new research spaces through thematic discourse arrangement. At the same time, the book also points out the shortcomings of translation cognition research in terms of theoretical unity, research methods, concepts, and themes, as well as the insufficient exploration of cognitive processing modes and characteristics of the new translation ecology. In addition, although the book introduces various research tools, the introduction of some behavioral and physiological research methods is not sufficient.

4 Conclusion

Cognitive translation research, as an emerging field, has grown rapidly with the development of cognitive science and technology. The Lauterbach Handbook of Translation and Cognition comprehensively summarizes the theories, themes, methods, and system construction in this field, and provides prospects for future research trends. Although there is room for improvement, this book provides valuable reference for the study of translation cognition, promoting theoretical innovation and interdisciplinary integration.
