Meeting Description:

UCCTS is a biennial international conference which was launched by Richard
Xiao in 2008 to provide an international forum for the exploration of
theoretical and practical issues pertaining to the creation and use of corpora
in contrastive and translation/interpreting studies. 

The 6th edition of the UCCTS conference (Using Corpora in Contrastive and
Translation Studies) will be organized by the Department of Interpreting and
Translation of the University of Bologna (Italy) at the Bertinoro University
Residential Centre. Originally planned for September 2020, the conference has
been postponed by one year due to the COVID-19 emergency. The new dates are
9-11 September 2021.

In keeping with the spirit of the venue and the conference series, the
conference will be held as a mainly in-presence event. Due to the safety
measures that will probably still be in place, room capacity will be reduced
and poster sessions will go digital, with the possibility of online or onsite
presentation.

UCCTS 2020 will bring together researchers who collect, annotate, analyze and
use corpora to inform contrastive linguistics and translation studies, alone
or in combination with other data sources and methods, to shed light on the
complex nature of language use in a linguistically diverse world.

Call for Papers: 

Conference themes: 
- Quantitative approaches in corpus-based contrastive and
translation/interpreting studies 
- Triangulation: the combined use of corpus data and other sources of data 
- Register/genre variation and other factors affecting cross-linguistic and
variationist analyses 
- Parallel and comparable corpora in foreign language learning/teaching 
- 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) 
- Variational and/or multilingual corpus-based approaches to media studies 
- Corpus use in bilingual (e-)lexicography and terminology/terminography 
- Design and analysis of new types of comparable and parallel corpora,
including intermodal, multimodal and multiple translation/interpreting corpora
- The contribution of Corpus-Based Translation and Interpreting Studies
(CBTS/CBIS) to translation and interpreting theory 
- New ways of approaching typical properties and features of
translation/interpreting 
- Corpus use in translator/interpreter education 
- Professional (Language service provider) perspectives on corpus use 
- Corpus use in translation/interpreting quality assessment 
- Corpus use and new/hybrid/non-canonical forms of translation and
multilingual communication 

Confirmed keynote speakers: 
Marie-Aude Lefer (Université catholique de Louvain) 
Natalia Levshina (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen)
Stella Neuman (RWTH Aachen University)

Submissions: 

There will be two categories of presentations:
- Oral paper
- Digital poster

Please note that oral papers are intended for onsite presentation. Digital
posters will be published online beforehand and will involve a short online or
onsite presentation, with an interactive Q&A session. 

Authors of papers accepted for the 2020 edition of the conference have the
opportunity to resubmit their (possibly updated) abstract, signalling this
during abstract submission. Submissions of this kind will undergo light
refereeing. 

Abstracts should be between 800 and 1,000 words for oral papers and between
400 and 500 words for digital posters (please indicate in a footnote whether
the submission is for a paper or a poster). Both types of submission should
include a list of references (not included in the word count). They should
provide a clear outline of the aim of the study, including clearly articulated
research question(s), details of the research approach and method(s), and
(preliminary) results. 

Abstracts should be submitted via EasyChair by 1 March 2021
(https://easychair.org/account/signin?l=SfDsK2fBXrUda0tccIBXK4). They will be
reviewed anonymously by the scientific committee. You will be notified of the
outcome of the review process by 12 April 2021.

Important dates: 
- Deadline for submission of abstracts: 1 March 2021
- Notification of acceptance: 12 April 2021
- Conference: 9-11 September 2021
