Cognition distributed : how cognitive technology extends our minds

Cognition distributed how cognitive technology extends our minds

The present article examines the potential effects on the translation process of working interactively with a translation memory (TM) system, a tool for storing and sharing previous translations. A TM system automatically divides the source text into sentences presented to the translator one-by-one....
