Meeting Description: 

Context:

In recent years, the field of translation studies has come to focus not only
on the outcomes and applications of traditional academic research, but also,
increasingly, on project-based “action research”, in which academics,
professionals working in the field, and representatives of the language
industry all play an active role. At the same time, projects focused
specifically on the role and use of corpora in translator training and
professional translation practice (corpus-based translation studies) have come
to supplement traditional corpus linguistics research. A similar tendency can
be observed in the growing role of semantically enriched multilingual text
resources in the field of digital humanities, seen, for example, in the
dedicated platforms developed by the network of Maisons des Sciences de
l’Homme in France. In this context, then, this one-day workshop aims to
stimulate dialogue between researchers, professional translators, language
industry entrepreneurs and students in translation, including from the MA in
Multimedia Translation (T2M) course offered at the University of Burgundy.

Focus:

This workshop aims to bring together, and build on, three main observations:

- Corpus-based research has tended to focus on microlinguistics, including
terms, collocations and recurring syntagms. The results of such research can
be observed, for example, in the functioning of termbases and translation
memories.
- Professional translators have increasingly come to recognize the importance
of the “macro” dimension of source texts, including macrolinguistic structures
and generic markers. This dimension has long been recognised in the field of
technical communication.
- The growing body of research on the textual architecture modelling at
different levels of granularity (seen, for example, in the Text Encoding
Initiative) has made it possible to compare convergent and divergent
structures within multilingual corpora.

Aims:

This workshop aims to stimulate discussion between professional translators,
developers of CAT and MT tools, and researchers in the fields of Applied
Linguistics, translation studies and information technology, around the
question of how to manage generic criteria:

- For academics: how can research results in text linguistics be modelled?
- For professionals: what software solutions exist? how can new research be
incorporated into these tools?
- For translator trainers: how can these innovations be brought to bear when
training translators in the use of corpora?
