Meeting Description:

The aim of this conference is to assess the state of cross-linguistic studies
in 2022 while paying tribute to the major contribution of Jacqueline
Guillemin-Flescher, who has trained many contrastive linguists, in France as
well as in the rest of Europe. In her 2003 article Théoriser la traduction
(Theorizing translation), Jacqueline Guillemin-Flescher describes how
different approaches to translation issues differ in their specific methods,
research subjects and end goals and shows why linguistics should be an
integral part of the development of translation studies. The comparativist
diachronic perspective has gradually given way to the study of translation as
a scientific means of access to language activity. Her research focuses on the
internalized speech patterns that vary from one language to another, using a
corpus of translated texts. This approach has often been criticized for
ignoring the cross-cultural dimension of translation: ''translation cannot be
a matter of linguistics alone, because it is also a mode of cross-cultural
communication, with everything that this entails, far beyond the linguistic
forms it is based on, and because it relies on all the psycho-cognitive work
that underlies cross-linguistic transference'' (Ladmiral, 2006: 8). However,
the research of contrastive linguists has contributed to enriching the
practice of translators while the phenomena highlighted by translation
scholars continue to broaden linguists' sometimes narrow perspective on the
translation process. Thus, has contrastive linguistics become a recognized
method for comparing source and target languages. 

Keynote speakers: 
-Jacqueline Guillemin Flescher, Professeur Émérite, Université de Paris. 
-Raluca Nita, MCF, Université de Poitiers.


Call for Papers: 

Contributions on any language and communications focusing on the following
issues, but not limited to, are welcome: 
-What is the place of contrastive linguistics within general linguistics, in
France and abroad, in 2022? How has it evolved since the mid-20th century? 
-To what extent can contrastive linguistics be described as applied
linguistics? 
-Is not the often-varied terminology referring to research on contrasts
between linguistic systems (compared linguistics, translation studies,
contrastive pragmatics or contrastive semantics) the actual impediment to a
clear-cut definition of cross-linguistic studies? 
-What differentiates cross-linguistic studies from comparative grammar? 
-What use should be made of digital corpora? 
-What is a researcher's level of expertise in their native language? Is
single-language foreign-language teaching problematic?

The conference will take place in Créteil, UPEC (Paris).
