Meeting URL: http://fr46.uni-saarland.de/croco/symposium.html

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

Meeting Description:

The symposium marks the end of the project 'CroCo - Cross-linguistic corpora:
linguistic properties of translations - a corpus-based investigation for the
language pair English-German' and is intended to identify research perspectives
leading onwards from the topic of this project. It brings together scholars
representing different perspectives that share an empirical view on the study of
translations and contrastive linguistics.

Questions to be discussed during the symposium include, but are not limited to:

- In what sense is an empirical theory of translation desirable and possible?
- If so, how should this theory be characterised?
- Which aspects should it cover?
- Will it comprise universal features of translated texts?
- Which research methods (including which types of data) can provide the insight
required to formulate a general theory?
- Which existing findings pave the way towards such a theory?
- Which are essential features of a methodologically motivated dialogue between
translation studies, contrastive/comparative linguistics and studies of language
contact and change?

Invited Speakers:
