Date: 22-Sep-2022 - 23-Sep-2022
Location: Prague, Czech Republic 
Contact Person: Olga Nadvornikova

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Text/Corpus Linguistics; Translation 

Call Deadline: 14-Feb-2022 

Meeting Description:

The conference is a continuation of the well-established Translation in
Transition series that serves as a meeting point for scholars conducting
research in translation based on an empirical methodological paradigm. With
the previous conferences in mind, held in Copenhagen, Germersheim, Ghent,
Barcelona and Kent (Ohio), the Prague edition wants to put special emphasis on
three main directions: we would like to draw on the vast resources of the
Czech National Corpus (including InterCorp, a large multilingual parallel
corpus), and concentrate on the methodological interplay between translation
studies and contrastive linguistics. At the same time, prominence will be
given to machine translation, as Prague is one of its international centres.

Conference topics

We welcome contributions grounded in empirical approaches to studying
translation, as well as theoretical and position papers on the following
topics:
- Corpus-based and corpus-driven methodology in multilingual corpora
- Models and methods in translation studies and contrastive linguistics
- Register/genre variation in multilingual corpora
- Specific features of translation seen through parallel/comparable corpora
- Translation in specific settings: between close languages, from a third
language, non-native translation, translation corpora in EU institutions, etc.
- Spoken language in translation and corpora
- The use of corpora in translator/interpreter training
- The use of corpora in translation quality assessment
- Machine translation: analysis of neural MT models, selection and preparation
of data for MT, ‘translationese’ in MT
- Manual and automatic methods for evaluating translation quality and MT
suitability for post-editing
- The communicative aspect of studying translation: the communication chain
from sender to final recipient
- Computer-assisted translation/interpreting (CAT/CAI – new developments, CAT
vis-à-vis MT, CAT UI, UX)
- MT post-editing (MTPE types, practices, approaches, ethics)
The official language of the conference is English.

Keynote speakers
Gert de Sutter (Ghent University)
Silvia Bernardini (University of Bologna)

Venue
It is envisaged to hold the conference at the Faculty of Arts, Charles
University, Prague. The venue is in the city centre, within easy reach by
public transport. However, given the still uncertain situation, we are ready
to move the conference to hybrid or online form.

Submissions
Apart from a clear outline of the aims and methods of the study, the abstracts
should also provide (preliminary) results. The abstracts will be reviewed by
at least two members of the scientific committee.

Publications
We offer two publication options (see the conference web site for more
details: https://tt2022.ff.cuni.cz/)
Conference fee
The conference fee will be approximately EUR 100. The fee includes attendance
to all conference sessions and coffee break refreshments.
Organizers
The conference is organized by the Institute of the Czech National Corpus,
Faculty of Arts, Charles University, in cooperation with the Institute of
Translation Studies, Faculty of Arts, Charles University, and the Institute of
Formal and Applied Linguistics, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles
University.
