Meeting Description:

MultiMeDialecTranslation 7 – Dialect translation in multimedia
17— 20 May 2017, University of Southern Denmark in Odense

The Department of Language and Communication at the University of Southern
Denmark in Odense and the Centre for Communication, Culture and Society
cordially invite you to the 7th Conference “MultiMeDialecTranslation – Dialect
translation in multimedia”. The conference will be held 17 – 20 May 2017 at
the University of Southern Denmark in Odense.

MultiMeDialecTranslation 7 is an interdisciplinary conference, operating at
the interface of linguistics, media studies, communication studies, and
translatology. It is aimed at both colleagues from academic research and
teaching as well as practitioners of translation.

Founded in 2002 as a conference for investigating the interlingual translation
of dialects in “multimedia” with film subtitling as a typical example, the
conference has expanded its range of topics to other polysemiotic
configurations (e.g. theatre, opera, comic) as well as to other non-standard
varieties and to intralingual translation.

This year, we will also discuss laymen subtitling and dubbing of dialects on
the internet (e.g. in YouTube videos) and perspectives of polysemiotic
translation of non-standard varieties for foreign language teaching.

Keynote Speakers
Henrik Gottlieb, University of Copenhagen
Horst Simon, Freie Universität Berlin
Holger Mitterer, University of Malta

Danguolė Satkauskaitė, Kaunas, Lithuania
Giovanni Nadjani, Bologna/Forlì, Italy
