Special Issue: Legal translation and interpreting in a technologized world

Guest editors: Jeffrey Killman and Christopher D. Mellinger, University of
North Carolina at Charlotte

The ubiquity of technology and its often-touted benefits are sources of
potential friction in legal and regulatory environments where translation and
interpreting activities are carried out. Concerns have surrounded its ability
to influence, constrain, or alter the implementation and quality of T&I work,
thereby resulting in somewhat slower adoption rates in the field. Yet despite
technological advances, this trepidation may persist, given the ever-expanding
range of technologies at the disposal of legal parties and translators and
interpreters who enable plurilingual encounters. Additionally, socioeconomic
and policy factors complicate what is currently possible, with increasing
attention paid to not only which tools are used, but how, when, and why.

For this special issue of Revista de Llengua i Dret, Journal of Language and
Law, we welcome contributions from a variety of perspectives and disciplines,
including but not limited to, translation and interpreting studies, applied
linguistics, information and communication technologies, legal studies, and
technology studies. The issue comprises both theoretical and data-driven
empirical work, or a combination thereof. While by no means exhaustive, the
list of topics below would be of particular interest:
- Impact of technologies on legal translation/interpreting quality for both
majority and minority languages
- Influence of technologies on legal communication in multilingual contexts
- Legal and regulatory frameworks that influence the use of technologies in
legal T&I contexts, including language policy and language planning
- Use and development of technologies for different language pairs, including
less-resourced languages
- T&I technologies developed specifically for legal contexts
- Big data and legal T&I technologies
- Legal, economic, or ergonomic factors that influence technology adoption and
use
- Role of technology in affordance or impediments to language access and
rights
- Intersection of technology, language planning and policy, particularly as it
relates to the documentation and development of less-resource languages in
legal contexts
- Standards development and implementation for technologies in legal
environments
- Legal T&I pedagogy and its intersection with technology
- Technologies and transcription/translation practices
- Historical development of technologies in unique legal T&I contexts
