Abstract

Studying psychological adaptation in translations, we analyzed TED Talks to investigate whether translators assimilate to the original speaker’s gendered language style or whether they implicitly project their own gendered language style onto the translation. The LIWC-based results suggest that translators manage to capture the psychological signature in the message, beyond the mere content.
