durham.ac.uk>XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Issues in Interpreting II: International Perspectives XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX The second conference on Issues in Interpreting will be held at the University of Durham, Durham, England from 19th September to 22nd September, 1995. This conference follows on from the Issues in Interpreting conference which was held in Durham in April, 1994. The conference will focus on interpreting between signed and spoken languages, but a limited number of papers may be accepted which focus on related experience from the spoken language field. Similarly, papers which examine the nature and demands of translation may also be accepted, particularly where their focus is on the relationship between signed and spoken languages. Issues relating to theory, practice and policy will be examined. Relevant topic areas include: % Professionalism and interpreting % Ethical Issues % Deaf involvement in the profession % Deaf involvement in policy making and service provision % Linguistic and Sociolinguistic Issues % Specialist Areas (eg Legal Interpreting and Medical Interpreting % Changing demands of the 'international scene' % Training of interpreters It is expected that the conference will include both formal presentations and workshop sessions. Submissions are invited from interpreters, linguists, consumers, policy makers and other interested individuals. Papers will be evaluated by an international committee. _Papers_ Presentations will be 30 minutes long with 15 minutes for questions (45 minutes in total). This format will mean that there are fewer presenters in total than previously, but it will allow more time for discussion. _Workshops_ Submissions to run a workshop on a specific area are encouraged. Workshops will be two hours in length. It is expected that there will be parallel workshops. The internal running of the workshop can be controlled by the workshop organisers, but must include a strong element of group participation. _Abstract Submissions for Papers_ Abstracts of approximately 5 minutes of BSL or 500 words should be submitted. Submissions in other sign languages will be accepted, but must be accompanied by either a BSL or English version. The abstract itself should be produced separately and should be identified by a title. The following information should be produced on a filing card: Title: Title of paper Author(s) Name(s): Affiliation/Professional Area: eg Interpreter, Algonquin Interpreting Agency; Lecturer, Department of Sign Language, University of Gateshead, England Contact Address: Full postal address, including postal/zip code Text Telephone Number: of main author Voice Telephone Number: of main author Fax Number: of main author E-Mail: Electronic mail address of main author (for contact) followed by other authors (if any) _Workshop Submissions_ These should provide the following information: % Topic Area: An indication of the focus of the workshop % Contributors: Some general information eg 'working interpreter', 'interpreter trainer'. Names should be given separately (see below) % Abstracts of each of the contributions and/ or the overall content (we wish to have some flexibility to allow workshop organisers creative space); % Organisation: An initial suggestion of how the workshop may be organised: it is recognised that there may be some adaptation as contributors work together on the workshop. Full details of organisation will be required before publication of the programme. Workshop organisers should include separate file cards including the same information as those presenting papers. A separate card should be included for the organiser/co-ordinator and each contributor. _Conference Organising Committee_ Mary Brennan, University of Durham David Brien, University of Durham and EFSLI Liz Scott Gibson, University of Durham and European Forum of Sign Language Interpreters _Timetable_ % Abstracts to be submitted by March 31st 1995 % Notification of Acceptance: April 31st 1995 % Receipt of signed/written submissions (for interpreters): July 20th, 1995 Further details of the conference will be made available by the end of January, 1995 and a programme will be made available by May, 31st 1995.
