Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 22-Mar-2021 

Meeting Description:

Translatology is the theoretical and practical study of translation. It
combines insights from linguistics, the humanities, cognitive and computer
science to understand the process of translating between languages and the
particular features characterising language in translation. Central concepts
of contemporary translatology are translationese, linguistic patterns that
tend to make translations more similar to each other than to texts originally
written in their target language; and variation, which refers to the fact that
different types of translations, such as written translations vs.
interpreting, display systematic linguistic differences. 

The Workshop on Modelling Translation: Translatology in the Digital Age seeks
to facilitate collaboration and knowledge exchange between researchers in
linguistics, AI, CL, NLP, translation studies, cognitive and computer science
focusing on modeling translation from diverse angles, such as variation in
translation, machine translation, translation quality assessment and
translationese. Specifically, the workshop aims to foster innovative research
at the intersection between machine and human translation modeling by applying
concepts from translation studies to machine translation or using machine
translation techniques to explore research questions in translatology. We
encourage research on modeling aspects of translation, including word
embeddings, neural or statistical machine translation, feature-based text
classification, syntactic and semantic parsing, monolingual or multilingual
language models, text generation, and stylometry.

Call for Papers: 

We invite papers on all relevant research areas, including but not limited to:
 - Translationese detection and analysis through quantitative means
 - Improving understanding of translation in the context of NLP
 - Analysis and interpretation of variation in translation
 - Intrinsic and extrinsic evaluation of translation models
 - Contextualised and multimodal translation analysis
 - Computational semantics and pragmatics applied to translation studies
 - Sentiment and emotion analysis of translations
 - Human translation quality assessment and evaluation
 - Cognitive and computational insights of variation in translation and
translationese 
 - Computational models of translation types such as communicative
translation, semantic translation, transcreation.
 - Presentation of new corpora for translation studies, such as literary
translation corpora, interpreting transcript datasets.
 - Translation and Post-editing interfaces
 - Cognitive modeling of translation processes, including cognitive load
measurements

We welcome all kinds of contributions addressing the topics mentioned above.

Important Dates: 
Monday, March 22, 2021: Workshop paper submission deadline
Tuesday, April 20, 2021: Notification day
Monday, May 3, 2021: Camera-ready workshop papers due
Monday, May 31, 2021: Pre-conference workshops

Paper Submission:

We invite submissions of three kinds:
 - long papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research, up to 8
pages without references;
 - short papers on smaller, focused contributions, negative results, surveys,
or opinion pieces, up to 4 pages without references; and
 - demonstration papers on software or resource demonstrations of systems,
interfaces, infrastructures, data collections, or annotations, up to 4 pages
without references.

Papers accepted for presentation at the conference will appear in the NoDaLiDa
2021 proceedings, published as part of the NEALT Proceedings Series by
Linköping University Electronic Press and in the ACL Anthology.

All submissions should follow the official Nodalida 2021 format templates:
http://nodalida2021.org/authorkit.zip. The submissions are to be anonymous and
follow the ACL Author Guidelines. Parallel submission to another forum is
possible, providing that the authors inform the organizers without delay,
should the author choose to present the work at the other venue and withdraw
it from this workshop. Papers submitted to other venues must indicate this at
submission time in the EasyChair submission system. At least one author of
each accepted paper must register to attend the workshop. 

The submission site is https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=motra21.

To inquire about the submission and reviewing process or generally the
workshop’s scientific program, please email yuri.bizzoni at uni-saarland.de.
