Meeting Description: 

The Termisti research centre for applied linguistics (Higher Institute for 
Translators and Interpreters, Haute École de Bruxelles) and Centrum voor 
Vaktaal en Communicatie (Erasmus University College Brussels), are 
pleased to invite you to their 4th joint seminar, held on Friday, April 29, 
2011, on ISTI's premises. This year's seminar will address the topics of 
'neology' and 'specialised translation'.
When working in a specialised field, translators are often confronted with 
the problem of neology. They must relay a new lexical creation encountered 
in the source language, which clearly reveals the appearance of a new 
concept: translators therefore take part in 'secondary term formation' as 
defined by Juan Sager (1990: 80ff.). In this context, they are required to 
have skills that go beyond what is traditionally referred to as 'neological 
competence', which all native speakers possess. More than often exposed 
to a lack of reliable terminographic resources, translators must display 
original qualities reinforced by an ad hoc training. In all cases, they must act 
both as lexicologists and terminologists, with knowledge of semantics and 
lexical morphology, they must be able to lead detailed investigations 
involving field specialists, and they might have to resort to loanwords or 
even original lexical creations in their native language.
This year's speakers will examine the links between neology andspecialised 
translation, and attempt to provide an overview of the many new lines of 
research in this area. For more information about the seminar, please visit 
the website (http://www.termisti.org/seminar2011.htm).

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and 
as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a 
registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-

visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will 
match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails 
your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form 
that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is 
generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your 
gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment 
to check if your company operates such a program.
