Guest editor: Kobus Marais (University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa) This special edition of SALALS will contain papers read at the first two Spring Schools for Translation Studies in Africa (held in Bloemfontein in 2009 and Stellenbosch in 2010 respectively). To put the debate in global context, contributions from other scholars are also invited. In recent developments in translation studies, context in general and geographical context in particular has become of interest as part of the implications of postpositivism in the field. Also, locality has become a buzz word in a campaign to rid translation studies from its Western bias. The aim of the edition is to conceptualise the influence of Africa as a context within which to do language practice. The edition will try to facilitate a global debate on this matter by providing voice to scholars from various contexts. Papers on this topic are awaited from contributors from across the globe. All sub-fields of study within language practice, i.e. translation studies, interpreting studies, human language technology, document design, language planning, terminology/lexicography and others will be considered. Schedule: Deadline for abstracts (500 words): 1 September 2010. Successful authors notified: 1 October 2010 Submission of papers: 15 January 2011 Final notification of acceptance of papers: 31 March 2011 Publication: June 2011 Submit abstracts to jmaraisufs.ac.za Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue Page Updated: 01-Jun-2010       About LINGUIST    |   Contact Us       While the LINGUIST List makes every effort to ensure the linguistic relevance of sites listed on its pages, it cannot vouch for their contents.
