In the article the Author describes new research possibilities that have appeared before translational linguistics, thus expanding its empirical boundaries. Despite having a lot of potential in the field of translational linguistics, eye-tracking research is still considered to be an innovational research method, one with rather undefined explicatory possibilities. The aim of the article is an attempt to formulate essential research questions, on the basis of eye-tracking research of the process of sight translation, conducted by the Author last year. Formulating these questions will allow to analyze the real possibilities of the eye-tracking method, as well as the restrictions, both equally important from the scientific point of view.
