The recognition of coherence in a text is more subjective as it involves text- and reader-based features and refers to the logical flow of interrelated ideas in a text, thus establishing a mental textual world (cf. Crystal 2008:85, Widdowson 1979:312). There is a connection between these two concepts in that relations of cohesion can be regarded as explicit indicators of meaning relations in a text and, hence, contribute to its overall coherence.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Courier New"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Courier New"'>The aim of this panel is to bring together scholars analyzing cohesion and coherence from different research perspectives that cover translation-relevant topics: language contrast, translationese and machine translation. What these approaches share is that they investigate instantiations of discourse phenomena in a multilingual context. And moreover, language comparison is based on empirical data. The challenges here can be identified with respect to the following methodological questions:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Courier New"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Courier New"'>1.

We will include contributions which concentrate on procedures to analyse cohesion and coherence, e.g. their (semi-)automatic identification and disambiguation in comparable and parallel corpora, as done in annotation work described in Nedoluzhko (2013), Cartoni et al. (2013) or Lapshinova & Kunz (2014), as well as crowd annotation experiments, as in Kolhatkar et al. (2013). Furthermore, our panel will include empirical analyses operating with innovative methods for data interpretation, rather than traditional contrastive analysis, e.g. statistical analyses such as univariate methods, as in Zinsmeister (2012) for abstract anaphors, machine learning techniques as in Nguy et al. (2011) for coreference, or consistency measures, as in Guillou (2013) for lexical cohesion. And finally, the panel will also include studies on the application of knowledge on cohesion and coherence in translation. Special interest here is on machine translation, as there is an increasing interest in this community to improve translation quality by adding information on cohesive phenomena, see e.g. Popescu-Belis et al (2012), Wong & Kit (2012), Symne et al. (2013) and Meyer & Webber (2013).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Courier New"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Courier New"'>Targeting the questions raised above and addressing them together from different research angles, the present panel will contribute to moving empirical translation studies ahead.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Courier New"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Courier New"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Courier New"'>References:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Courier New"'>Cartoni, Bruno, Sandrine Zufferey and Thomas Meyer (2013).
