Meeting Description:

The 6th edition of the UCCTS conference (Using Corpora in Contrastive and
Translation Studies) series will be organized by the Department of
Interpreting and Translation of the University of Bologna (Italy) at the
Bertinoro University Residential Centre, on 7-9 September 2020. The aim of the
conference is to provide an international forum for presenting and discussing
advances in methodology, theory, analysis and applications of corpus-based
contrastive and translation studies.


Call for Papers:

The aim of the UCCTS 2020 conference is to provide an international forum for
presenting and discussing advances in methodology, theory, analysis and
applications of corpus-based contrastive and translation studies. One of the
ways in which such advances and discussions have taken shape in recent
editions is through the rethinking of translation and interpreting, conceived
as contact language varieties on a par with learner language, English as a
Lingua Franca and L2 production, among others. The investigation of the common
ground between translation-mediated cross-linguistic influence and other
language contact situations is seen as a powerful, though no doubt complex,
means of attaining higher-order generalizations about language use in a world
in which linguistic superdiversity is becoming the norm. This multifaceted
object of study requires a solid understanding of quantitative methods, the
cross-fertilization of product- and process-based approaches, and the
development of adequate theoretical models.

UCCTS 2020 will bring together researchers who collect, annotate, analyze and
use corpora to inform contrastive linguistics and translation studies, alone
or in combination with other data sources and methods, to shed light on the
complex nature of language use in a linguistically diverse world. 

Conference themes:

- Quantitative approaches in corpus-based contrastive and
translation/interpreting studies
- Triangulation: the combined use of corpus data and other sources of data
- Register/genre variation and other factors affecting cross-linguistic and
variationist analyses
- Parallel and comparable corpora in foreign language learning/teaching 
- The comparative study of translated/interpreted language with other types of
constrained and/or mediated language varieties (e.g. learner/non-native
language, edited language)
- Variational and/or multilingual corpus-based approaches to media studies
- Corpus use in bilingual (e-)lexicography and terminology/terminography
- Design and analysis of new types of comparable and parallel corpora,
including intermodal, multimodal and multiple translation/interpreting corpora
- The contribution of Corpus-Based Translation and Interpreting Studies
(CBTS/CBIS) to translation and interpreting theory
- New ways of approaching typical properties and features of
translation/interpreting
- Corpus use in translator/interpreter education
- Professional (Language service provider) perspectives on corpus use
- Corpus use in translation/interpreting quality assessment
- Corpus use and new/hybrid/non-canonical forms of translation and
multilingual communication 

Confirmed keynote speakers:

Marie-Aude Lefer (Université catholique de Louvain)
Erich Steiner (Universität des Saarlandes)
Natalia Levshina (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen)
