Meeting Description:

(Session of 49th Poznań Linguistic Meeting)

Empirical investigations into the forms of mediated discourse at the European
Parliament

A thematic session at the 49th Poznań Linguistic Meeting (PLM2019) 
Convenors: Marta Kajzer-Wietrzny , Magdalena Perdek, Faculty of English, Adam
Mickiewicz University 
Emails: mkajzer at wa.amu.edu.pl, mperdek at wa.amu.edu.pl

Ever since its inception Corpus-based Translation Studies have been
preoccupied with systematic and rigorous investigations of translations in the
search of patterns that set translations apart and shed more light on the
nature of translation. These investigations took various points of reference:
source texts, native non-translated texts, texts translated in a different
mode, edited or even paraphrased texts. In light with the recent developments
in TS it seems that adding non-translated, non-native texts to this set might
bring in an even more illuminating perspective on different forms of bilingual
communication involving independent or dependent text production (Halverson
2003; Chesterman 2004; Lanstyák and Heltai 2012; Kruger and Rooy 2016).
Undeniably, the data from the European Parliament presents a great opportunity
for such research. Not only does the institution provide a sizeable sample of
documents translated into many languages, but also the debates held at the EP
are available online with simultaneous interpretation. At the same time
verbatim reports of the original speeches can be consulted online and even
used to be translated up until 2011. As the speakers speak both their native
languages and/or English this data source provides a unique opportunity to
compare a variety of forms of mediated discourse both in the spoken and
written mode (Shlesinger 2008). The European Parliament website provides
information about the speakers and topics of the debate and the translations
and interpretations are performed by experienced professionals. From the
methodological perspective, the EP material guarantees also a great degree of
homogeneity as the speeches in various modes are delivered in the same
institutional setting (Monti et al. 2005), which is particularly valuable in
corpus studies, where data comparability is frequently a challenge. 

Proposed speakers: Silvia Bernardini (University of Bologna), Adriano
Ferraresi (University of Bologna), Ilmari Ivaska (University of Turku),
Marie-Aude Lefer (UCLouvain), Tamara Mikolič Južnič (University of Ljubljana),
Neža Pisanski Peterlin (University of Ljubljana)

Empirical investigations into the forms of mediated discourse at the European

A thematic session at the 49th Poznań Linguistic Meeting (PLM2019)

Convenors: Marta Kajzer-Wietrzny, Magdalena Perdek, Faculty of English, Adam

Emails: mkajzer at wa.amu.edu.pl, mperdek at wa.amu.edu.pl

In this thematic session we welcome papers which report on empirical
explorations of diverse forms  of mediated discourse (translation,
interpreting, non-native), including, but not limited to  comparative studies
of two modes based on corpora comprising EP debates, e.g. EPIC (Bendazzoli 
and Sandrelli 2005), EPTIC (Ferraresi and Bernardini 2019), EPICG (Defrancq et
al. 2015),  EUROPARL (Koehn 2005) or other. Comparative studies of EP data and
other registers are also  encouraged.

Abstracts for this session formatted in line with the guidelines on the PLM
website may be submitted until  April 15, 2019
