Meeting Description:

The tenth Leipzig International Conference on Translation Studies is taking
place at the Institute for Applied Linguistics and Translatology, University
of Leipzig on 12-16 March 2017. The conference title is “Translation 4.0 –
Translation in the Digital Age”.

While recent LICTRA congresses have focussed on T&I didactics (1997), T&I
competence (2004), translation quality (2007) and international synergies in
T&I research (2010), the tenth in the series will concentrate on where T&I
studies stand in the light of digitalization and in the age of industry 4.0 or
Internet 4.0, as the increasing use of internet technology to facilitate
communication between humans, machines and products is often known. The
technological building blocks of this world are cyber-physical systems and the
Internet of Things, which describes a process whereby the computer as a
stand-alone device will lose much of its importance as a network of
identifiably different “intelligent” physical objects – things – is built up
in a structure that is reminiscent or a development of the Internet.

At the core of LICTRA 2017 will be the analysis of major current and future
problems as well as more “classical” questions regarding the effects that this
new dynamic and these technical developments will have on translation itself
and on the constantly developing avenues of T&I research. Among the
particularly relevant issues that will be debated in Leipzig are:

Industry 4.0 – Internet 4.0: Translation 4.0?

- Changes in research paradigms, the linguistic (re)turn and interweaving
approaches in T&I research
- Audiovisual translation
- Globalisation, localisation, post-editing, machine translation and
corpus-based translation studies
- Current trends in interpreting studies; between cognitive linguistics and
social sciences
- Corpus-based interpreting research
- Sign language interpreting
- Meaning relations in source and target text
- Phraseology in technical translation; phraseology and variation
- The difficulty with evaluating quality in translation – evaluation,
correction and criticism as problems
- Ideology, power, conflict and translation

We propose that LICTRA 2017 should explore and debate these aspects, which are
all currently of acute relevance for T&I studies. They should all be seen in
the light of the conference’s overarching topic, namely Translation 4.0 –
translation in the digital age, and in the context of constantly changing
conditions of communication created by new applications of Internet
technology.

LICTRA is also a forum for young researchers and aims to help young academics
from Germany and abroad gain an overview of the current state of research, to
give them the opportunity of making their mark on the international stage and
to make valuable personal contacts, gaining ideas and partners for research
projects. We look forward to greeting as many of you as possible and to
enjoying productive discussions with you.

Call for Papers:

The tenth Leipzig International Conference on Translation Studies is taking
place at the Institute for Applied Linguistics and Translatology, University

In addition to the presentation sessions, the conference will also feature
three workshops. One will focus on questions relating to the translation of
proper names, another will look at problems relating to T&I journal rankings,
while the third will explore the topic of visibility/invisibility. Abstracts
for a 20-minute presentation during one of these workshops can also be
submitted.

The tradition of publishing LICTRA proceedings will be continued; after peer
review, an international committee will edit and publish selected papers in an
internationally-renowned publication. Papers of 15–20 pages in length are to

monograph form after consideration by the review board. A style sheet and
format template for contributions will be available on the LICTRA website
shortly.
