Corpus-based Translation Studies (CTS) has developed into a major paradigm in Translation Studies, ever since they were first introduced to the field some twenty years ago. Corpora are now used as CAT tools, in machine translation and translation memories,
as well as in translator training. The application of corpus methodologies has allowed a better understanding of the nature of translated texts and their relationship to non-translated productions, offering new insights into the translation process and translator
behaviour and style and moving the discipline of Translation Studies forward. As a field of study, CTS is truly inter-disciplinary, closely informed by developments in a range of related fields, such as corpus linguistics and computational linguistics. Research
in those fields has recently seen great progress, offering the potential of exploring new and more complex types of corpora, such as multimodal corpora, while at the same time developing new means for corpus interrogation, together with new tools and techniques
of analysis. If CTS is to expand its methods and applications, new technological advancements need to be fully embraced and new tools need to be developed. This needs to be in collaboration with other disciplines, since Translation Studies scholars often do
not have the expertise to adapt tools to their needs or develop new ones, while computational linguists are often unaware of the needs of Translation Studies scholars. Similarly, maintaining a constructive dialogue with corpus linguistics will inform practices
and offer the necessary theoretical insights. This panel aims to bring together the linguistic and computational side of corpus methodologies to discuss innovations in corpus analysis tools and annotation methods, accessibility issues etc. with particular
reference to translation, and provide a framework for collaboration and technological development in CTS to open up further avenues of research in this field.</span></font></font></p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; BACKGROUND: white" align="left"><span style="COLOR: black"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">The panel will be framed by a 15-minute introduction and wrap-up session and consist of twelve speakers who
will be grouped in sessions of three according to their papers' topics. The panel welcomes papers related but not limited to the following topics:</font></font></span></p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; BACKGROUND: white" align="left"><span style="COLOR: black"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">- new applications of corpora to translation research and training</font></font></span></p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; BACKGROUND: white" align="left"><span style="COLOR: black"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">- new methodologies, such as NLP-oriented or forensic-oriented, as well as combined corpus-based methodologies</font></font></span></p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; BACKGROUND: white" align="left"><span style="COLOR: black"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">- annotation standards and formats (including audiovisual material)</font></font></span></p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; BACKGROUND: white" align="left"><span style="COLOR: black"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">- alignment, concordancing and text analysis tools</font></font></span></p>
