    Meeting Description:

    The topic of terminology has been approached traditionally from the perspective of standardization. More recently, corpus-based approaches have gained prominence. A question which is relevant to both approaches concerns the relationship of terminology to a theory of the lexicon.

    In this conference, these perspectives will be considered not only theoretically, but also from a practical angle. The study and management of terminology is an essential component of commercial, technical, and scientific translation. Computational tools provide an almost indispensible help to any translator, whether working in an institutional translation service, an independent translation company, or as a free-lance translator. The programme of this conference organized jointly by Pius ten Hacken (University of Wales Swansea) and Willy Martin (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) consists of presentations by invited speakers, poster presentations by MA students, and a panel discussion. A reception will be offered by the School of European Languages of the University of Wales Swansea at the end of the first day. The following speakers have confirmed their contributions:

    Sue-Ellen Wright (Kent State University): Terminology Standards for the Language Industry Delyth Prys (Canolfan Bedwyr, Bangor): Setting the Standards: Ten Years of Welsh Terminology Work Hennie van der Vliet (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam): The Lexical Semantics of Terms Willy Martin (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam): Portrait of a Terminologist as a (Young) Sublanguage Expert Sophia Ananiadou (University of Salford): Term mining in Biomedicine Isa Maks (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam): The Terminology of Business Dutch Iwan Davies (University of Wales Swansea): The dilemma of settling authoritative legal terminology:Reflections from Wales and the use of Welsh Ulrich Heid (Universit�t Stuttgart): Extracting Terms from Corpora Pius ten Hacken (University of Wales Swansea): From term database to term recognition in running text

    The conference takes place at the campus of the University of Wales Swansea, situated on the beautiful coast of South Wales. A registration form can be downloaded from the web site.
