<em>Description</em></a></p><hr /><br /><b>Descripción</b><br
/><p>The panel will investigate textual relations of cohesion and
coherence in translation and multilingual text production with a
strong focus on innovative methods of empirical analysis, as well as
technology and computation. Given the amount of multilingual
computation that is taking place, this topic is important for both
human and machine translation, and further multilingual studies.<br
/><br />Selected papers will be published in the special book series
'Translation and Multilingual Natural Language Processing' edited by
Reinhard Rapp, Silvia Hansen-Schirra and Oliver Oliver Čulo(see <a
href="http://langsci-press.org/catalog/series/TMNLP"
target="_blank">http://langsci-press.org/catalog/series/TMNLP</a>)to
appear in 2015.<br /><br />Cohesion refers to the text-internal
relationship of linguistic elements that are overtly linked via
lexical and grammatical devices across sentence boundaries to be
understood as a text (Halliday/Hasan 1976:2-4, Widdowson 1979:87). 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.<br /><br />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:<br
/>1. How to arrive at a cost-effective operationalization of the
annotation process when dealing with a broader range of discourse
phenomena?<br />2. Which statistical techniques are needed and are
adequate for the analysis? And which methods can be combined for data
interpretation?<br />3. Which applications of the knowledge acquired
are possible in multilingual computation, especially in machine
translation?<br /><br />Panel proposals should reflect these
questions. We will include <br />contributions 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).<br /><br
/>Targeting the questions raised above and addressing them together
from different research angles, the present panel will contribute to
moving empirical translation studies ahead.<br /><br />References:<br
