Exploring Intertextuality and Translation Regarding Cognitive and Neurolinguistic Aspects: An E-Learning Perspective

Abstract

This research delves into the intricate interplay of intertextuality and translation within the digital learning landscape, with a specific focus on the cognitive and neurolinguistic dimensions. By scrutinising the utilisation of intertextuality in e-learning environments, the study aims to unravel the mechanisms through which intertextual approaches can be employed to enrich language learning and elevate translation proficiency. Using a qualitative research approach, the study systematically analyses relevant literature to explore how intertextual strategies enhance language acquisition and translation proficiency. Drawing critical insights from e-learning contexts, this article not only unveils the potential advantages but also addresses the challenges inherent in integrating intertextuality into translation practices in the digital age. The findings indicate that incorporating intertextual elements – such as hyperlinks to related texts, multimedia resources, and cultural references – significantly improves learners’ comprehension, critical thinking, and contextual awareness. Specifically, leveraging intertextual cues such as hyperlinks to pertinent texts, multimedia resources, and cultural references proves instrumental in enhancing learners’ comprehension, stimulating critical thinking, and facilitating the establishment of connections between diverse texts and contexts. The research underscores the cognitive processes involved in intertextual comprehension, including memory activation, attention regulation, and semantic integration, which are crucial for effective translation in e-learning settings. Furthermore, the study underscores the significance of adopting a collaborative approach to both translation and intertextuality within the digital realm. The imperative for learners to actively participate in dialogue and idea exchange emerges as a key element in fostering cross-cultural understanding, aligning with the broader cognitive and neurolinguistic aspects of intertextuality comprehension. The conducted research not only sheds light on the transformative potential of intertextuality and translation in e-learning environments but also accentuates their profound implications for cognitive and neurolinguistic processes.
