MultiMeDialecTranslation - MMDT2012
5th Conference of the Translation of Dialects and Dialects in Multimedia
University of Turku (Finland)
3-5 May 2012

The conference is directed at academics from various disciplines as
well as translators and students who are interested in the translation
of dialects in multimedia contexts. The conference will concentrate on
a complex, interdisciplinary subject area involving linguistics,
communication studies, film studies and translation studies as well as
other areas of cultural studies, sociology and other disciplines. The
main topics to be covered at the conference include dubbing,
subtitling films in dialect and linguistic varieties; theatre
translation; cultural transfer processes in the characteristics of
dialects; archaisms, regionalisms, varieties in the continuum between
dialect and standard language; diglossia (national language and
regional or local language; 'official' and 'non-official' language);
the use of new technologies in the translation of dialect.

More information about evening programs and excursions will be
provided later on.
