In chapter 4, the author goes back to decision making and explores its major theories and models as well as attempting to define basic concepts which take part in translation decision making, such as decision and culture. Chapter 4 provides a wide range of decision making terminology which, problematically, is not applied nor referred back to in further chapters, especially when it comes to the core problem of this research.
Chapter 5 tackles theories and models of communication including translation-mediated communication. In bringing to the fore debatable notions of equivalence in translation, the author confronts Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, Darwish argues that any language is capable of solving problems that stem from source language specificities, as, for example, lack of time description in the Hopi language. The author defends that differently from views on language determinism, language evolves and may even accommodate different worldviews by means of translation, in which variations on descriptions of the perception of reality may begin with epithets and adjectives.
Chapter 8 investigates the cognitive strategies used by translators under the condition of uncertainty. In spite of the drawbacks of TAPs in this type of experiment, namely a potential reduction of naturalness and spontaneity in the process, Darwish demonstrates the efficacy of the application of TAPs in an experiment carried out with six professional translators.
Even though the author very clearly sets out his research problem and how he plans to reach his objectives, he over-extends his theoretical discussion on concepts and terminology that prove to distract the reader from the main objective of the book. He does not explore his results as deeply as he explores the literature review of theories related to decision-making process. New articles related to this author's research.
