examines formal contrasts involving the deletion or addition and the substitution of grammatical
or closed-class elements, providing evidence for the complexity principle: “in the case of more
or less explicit grammatical options the more explicit one(s) will tend to be favored in
cognitively more complex environments” (ibid.:151). Thus, the higher incidence of reporting that
in translated English could be considered to be part of a more general pattern of grammatical
explicitness, and explanation for this explicitation may be linked to the cognitive complexity of
the translation task.
