[Xiao, Zhonghua]

Using Corpora in Contrastive and Translation Studies (UCCTS) 2010

Second Call for Papers 

Using Corpora in Contrastive and Translation Studies (UCCTS), which is a biennial international conference series launched to provide a forum for exploring the creation and use of corpora in contrastive and translation studies, is related, but not confined to the following themes:

*       Design and development of comparable and parallel corpora 
*       Processing of multilingual corpora 
*       Using corpora in translation studies and teaching 
*       Using corpora in cross-linguistic contrast 
*       Corpus-based comparative research of source native language, translated language and target native language 
*       Corpus-based research at the interface between contrastive and translation studies 
*       Bilingual terminology, lexicology and lexicography

Following the success of the UCCTS 2008 conference at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, we are now pleased to invite submissions for papers for the UCCTS 2010 conference. The event is jointly organised by Edge Hill University (UK), the University of Bologna at Forlì (Italy), and Beijing Foreign Studies University (China), and is to be held at Edge Hill University in Ormskirk (near Liverpool) in the UK on 27-29th July 2010.
