Meeting Description:

Swansea Translation and Interpreting Group is delighted to announce 2 two-day
workshops at Swansea University on Computer-Assisted Literary Translation
(CALT).

Literary translators tend to resist using the systems which dominate the lives
of most other professional translators: CAT tools, translation memories (TM),
termbases, machine translation engines (MT). However, some now argue that
literary translators can benefit from 'hacking' TM/MT systems, and/or using
tools such as SketchEngine (corpus research), Stanford CoreNLP (natural
language processing), Voyant (text analysis visualisation), CATMA (Computer
Assisted Textual Markup and Analysis), VVV (Version Variation Visualisation
platform, developed at Swansea), and others.

We will discuss the promise and risks involved. There will be training
sessions with digital tools such as those mentioned, as well as presentations
of research and practice. Practising literary translators as well as research
students and academics are welcome to attend. No previous experience of
computer-assisted methods is required. There is no fee.

1st workshop: 25-26 January 2019. Keynote speaker: Prof. Dorothy Kenny

2nd workshop: 27-28 May 2019. Keynote speaker: Prof. Andy Way 

The workshops are funded by OWRI/IMLR and Swansea University's Language
Research Centre.

Call for Papers:

First call for contributions: submit 200-250-word proposals by 10 December
2018 for a paper, poster, or training session to Prof. Tom Cheesman
t.cheesman at swansea.ac.uk. State your name, title, and university (if any), and
whether you can contribute to the May workshop if we don’t have space in the
programme for you in January. We have a very small fund to assist with travel
expenses for some participants (ideally for contributors) who can get no other
subsidy, e.g. from their own institution. State if needed along with the cost.
