2nd Call for Papers:
The eighth edition of the UCCTS conference
(www.uni-hildesheim.de/uccts2025) will be held on the 8-10th of
September 2025 in Hildesheim, Germany.
UCCTS conference series are meant to bring together researchers who
collect, annotate, analyze corpora and/or use them to inform
contrastive linguistics and translation theory and/or develop
corpus-informed tools (in foreign language teaching, language testing
and quality assessment, translation pedagogy, computer-aided/machine
translation or other related NLP domains). We invite original
submissions that open to various topics within empirical contrastive
linguistics and translation studies (see below). We welcome
interdisciplinary contributions that combine corpus data with other
types of empirical data (e.g. experiment) and allow for an interplay
between different methods and data types. Moreover, we encourage
contributions applying information and computational technologies
including Large Language Models (LLMs).
Conference topics include:
- Quantitative approaches in corpus-based contrastive and
translation/interpreting studies, in particular with
multi-methodological designs (corpus-based, corpus-driven,
experimental) and advanced statistical modeling
- Computational methods derived from NLP and data mining (e.g.
computational semantics, pragmatics) applied to contrastive
linguistics and translation studies
- LLMs for contrastive linguistics and translation research (data
annotation, data analysis, etc.)
- Method and data triangulation: combined use of corpus data and
methods and other sources of data
- New or remodelled theoretical frameworks relevant to corpus-based
contrastive and translation/interpreting studies
- Presentation of new resources for contrastive and translation
studies (spoken and multimodal corpora, sign language (interpreting)
corpora, transcript datasets, corpora of low-resourced languages,
lexicons, databases, etc.)
- Linguistic variation of various types, e.g. variation driven by
register or genre variation, learner language, target audience, mode
of production, etc.
- Cognitive approaches to translation (and other language product)
properties
- Analysis of non-canonical forms of (multilingual) communication
- Corpus use in translator training, foreign language
learning/teaching
- Corpus use in multilingual (e-)lexicography and terminology
- Quality assessment in (automatic) translation and interpreting
- Non-canonical forms of translation/interpreting and multilingual
communication
- Corpus analysis of translation between close languages, from a third
language, non-native translation, indirect/relay translation, etc.
- Analysis of accessible communication (e.g. intralingual translation,
audio-visual and audio-descriptive forms, etc.)
The submissions are to be made in the form of anonymized extended
abstracts (in PDF) that should be between 800 and 1000 words long
(excluding references) by February 10, 2025. Apart from a clear
outline of the aims and methods of the study, the abstracts should
also provide (preliminary) results. The abstracts will be submitted
through the Open review system and reviewed by at least two members of
the scientific committee. The accepted contributions will be presented
either as oral talks or as posters. All submissions must follow
abstract submission instructions given below. Abstract text must be in
single-spaced 12pt Arial font, with no indents and 1 inch borders on
each side (2.54 cm). The title should be in 12pt Arial, bold and
centred, in title case. Page numbers should be omitted. Figure and
table captions should be in 10pt Arial font. Table and figure captions
should appear below the table or figure. References must be in 9pt
Arial font, in APA7 format.
Publications
The abstracts of the accepted papers will be published in an online
book of abstracts. We also plan to publish selected papers in an
edited volume or in a special issue of a journal. Further information
will be communicated in due course.
Keynote speakers
We are pleased to announce that the following plenary lectures are
planned for the UCCTS2025 conference in Hildesheim:
Elke Teich, Saarland University in Germany
Dylan Glynn, Université Paris 8, Vincennes - St Denis
Christian Hardmeier, IT University of Copenhagen
