Meeting Description:

The Centre for English Corpus Linguistics of the University of Louvain is
pleased to announce the 5th edition of the ''Using Corpora in Contrastive and
Translation Studies'' conference, to be held in Louvain-la-Neuve, 12 September
- 14 September, 2018 (Conference Chairs: Sylviane Granger & Marie-Aude Lefer).
UCCTS is a biennial international conference which was launched by Richard
Xiao in 2008 to provide an international forum for the exploration of the
theoretical and practical issues pertaining to the creation and use of corpora
in contrastive and translation studies. The 2018 edition will be dedicated to
the memory of Richard, who initiated the conference series but sadly passed
away in January 2016.

Keynote Spekeakers:

We are pleased to announce that the following speakers have accepted our
invitation to give a keynote presentation at the conference:

- Gloria Corpas Pastor (University of Malaga)
- Sandra Halverson (Western Norway University of Applied Sciences)
- Hilde Hasselgård (University of Oslo)
- Juliane House (University of Hamburg)
- Haidee Kruger (Macquarie University)


Call for Papers:

The Centre for English Corpus Linguistics of the University of Louvain (UCL)
is organizing the fifth edition of the Using Corpora in Contrastive and
Translation Studies conference series in Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium) on 12-14
September, 2018. 

UCCTS2018 is meant to bring together researchers who collect, annotate,
analyze corpora and/or use them to inform contrastive linguistics and
translation theory and/or develop corpus-informed tools (in foreign language
teaching, language testing and quality assessment, translation pedagogy,
computer-aided/machine translation or other related NLP domains). 

Conference Themes:

We particularly welcome papers in corpus-based contrastive and
translation/interpreting studies that address the following topics:

- Quantitative approaches in corpus-based contrastive and translation studies
- The comparative study of translated/interpreted language with other types of
constrained and/or mediated language varieties (e.g. learner/non-native
language, edited language)
- Triangulation: the combined use of corpora and other types of data
- Register/genre variation and other factors affecting cross-linguistic
analyses
- The contribution of CBTS to translation theory
- New ways of approaching translation properties/features
- Bilingual corpus use in foreign language learning/teaching
- Corpus use in translator training
- Corpus use in translation quality assessment
- Corpus use in bilingual (e-)lexicography and terminology
- Design and analysis of new types of comparable and parallel corpora,
including learner translation corpora.

We also encourage the submission of papers that genuinely straddle the fields
of corpus-based contrastive linguistics and translation studies. 

Language of the Conference: English

Abstracts:
