Meeting Description:

The Institute of Applied Linguistics of the Faculty of E-Learning Technologies
and Humanities, Riga Technical University invites you to participate in the
fourth biannual conference ''Meaning in Translation: Illusion of Precision''
on 27-29 May, 2020. 

The times and epochs have passed, but meaning in translation - elusive and
fascinating, precise and pragmatically relevant - remains the main focus of
translation studies. The issue of accurate representation of meaning across
the languages has become particularly topical in the era of digitalization,
proliferation of MT and CAT tools, evolution of neural machine translation
networks, and the changes in the way information is generated, stored,
processed and transmitted. 

This year, we invite the speakers to consider translation in the digital age
and consider translation studies in relation to the wide and developing area
of digital humanities. Thus, this year we make the focus on ''Translation
Studies in the Era of Digital Humanities''. 

We hope that the conference will bring together researchers and translators,
academia and students, practitioners in language services and technologies and
language policy makers and will become a forum for promoting dynamic and
constructive debate, networking and research cooperation.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our keynote speakers:

Kirsten Malmkjær, the University of Leicester
Jane Winters, the School of Advanced Study, University of London
Lawrence Venuti, Temple University
Marie-Claude L'Homme, the University of Montreal
Sanita Reinsone, the University of Latvia

The accepted papers will be published in internationally recognized issues and
submitted to SCOPUS, ERIH+, EBSCO, Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings
Citation Index - CPCI (ISI Web of Science) for evaluation and further
inclusion in the list.

All full papers will be double-blind reviewed by reviewers of the conference
scientific committee.

Please visit the conference website for an update on detailed information on
the submission guidelines and publishing dates.

We are inviting paper submissions covering a wide range of topics including,
but not limited to, the following issues: 

- Semantic and pragmatic aspects of translation; 
- Cognitive processes underlying the process of translation;
