Subject: Translation in Transition 6

 
Full Title: Translation in Transition 6 
Short Title: TT6 

Date: 22-Sep-2022 - 23-Sep-2022
Location: Prague, Czech Republic 
Contact Person: Olga Nadvornikova
Meeting Email: olga.nadvornikova at ff.cuni.cz
Web Site: https://tt2022.ff.cuni.cz/ 

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Text/Corpus Linguistics; Translation 

Call Deadline: 14-Feb-2022 

Meeting Description:

The conference is a continuation of the well-established Translation in
Transition series that serves as a meeting point for scholars conducting
research in translation based on an empirical methodological paradigm. With
the previous conferences in mind, held in Copenhagen, Germersheim, Ghent,
Barcelona and Kent (Ohio), the Prague edition wants to put special emphasis on
three main directions: we would like to draw on the vast resources of the
Czech National Corpus (including InterCorp, a large multilingual parallel
corpus), and concentrate on the methodological interplay between translation
studies and contrastive linguistics. At the same time, prominence will be
given to machine translation, as Prague is one of its international centres.


Final Call for Papers:

NEW: The conference Translation in Transition 6 (Prague, 22-23 Sept 2022) will
be held in hybrid form: both online and in-person participation will be
possible.

TT6: TRANSLATION IN TRANSITION 6
Second call for papers
The conference is a continuation of the well-established Translation in
Transition series that serves as a meeting point for scholars conducting
research in translation based on an empirical methodological paradigm. With
the previous conferences in mind, held in Copenhagen, Germersheim, Ghent,
Barcelona and Kent (Ohio), the Prague edition wants to put special emphasis on
three main directions: we would like to draw on the vast resources of the
Czech National Corpus (including InterCorp, a large multilingual parallel
corpus), and concentrate on the methodological interplay between translation
studies and contrastive linguistics. At the same time, prominence will be
given to machine translation, as Prague is one of its international centres.

Conference topics
We welcome contributions grounded in empirical approaches to studying
translation, as well as theoretical and position papers on the following
topics:

Corpus-based and corpus-driven methodology in multilingual corpora
Models and methods in translation studies and contrastive linguistics
Register/genre variation in multilingual corpora
Specific features of translation seen through parallel/comparable corpora
Translation in specific settings: between close languages, from a third
language, non-native translation, translation corpora in EU institutions, etc.
Spoken language in translation and corpora
The use of corpora in translator/interpreter training
The use of corpora in translation quality assessment
Machine translation: analysis of neural MT models, selection and preparation
of data for MT, ‘translationese’ in MT
Manual and automatic methods for evaluating translation quality and MT
suitability for post-editing
The communicative aspect of studying translation: the communication chain from
sender to final recipient
Computer-assisted translation/interpreting (CAT/CAI – new developments, CAT
vis-à-vis MT, CAT UI, UX)
MT post-editing (MTPE types, practices, approaches, ethics)
The official language of the conference is English.

Keynote speakers
Gert de Sutter (Ghent University)

Silvia Bernardini (University of Bologna)

Submissions
We invite original submissions that deal with any of the conference topics. To
encourage a fruitful exchange of ideas and experience among the researchers of
various fields of specialization, preference will be given to
interdisciplinary contributions that cover two or more of the conference
topics.

The submissions are to be made in the form of anonymized extended abstracts
that should be between 500 and 800 words long (excluding references). Apart
from a clear outline of the aims and methods of the study, the abstracts
should also provide (preliminary) results. The abstracts will be reviewed by
at least two members of the scientific committee.

The abstracts should be submitted through Easy Chair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tt2022), the submission page is now
open.

Important dates
Submission of abstracts by 14 Feb 2022

Notification of acceptance by 30 Apr 2022

Registration from 1 May 2022

Publications
As the primary goal of the conference is to serve as a platform for a fruitful
exchange of ideas, we do not plan to publish full conference proceedings.
However, abstracts of all accepted papers will be made available on-line, and
in addition, we offer two publication options:

Publication of full papers in Prague Bulletin of Mathematical Linguistics
(To be published prior to the conference);
Participation in a monograph/edited volume published by Language Science Press
(To be published after the conference. Provisional title: Advancing
interdisciplinarity
