Meeting Description:
With the rapid spread of globalization,
multilingual and multicultural encounters have
become the norm in a growing number of academic
and professional settings. As communities of
practice become ever more international and
de-localized, the role, function and status of
languages for special purposes in professional,
institutional, scientific and academic
communication become ever more closely
intertwined with attendant issues of meaning
negotiation in L1/L2 and/or lingua franca
encounters, but also with aspects of LSP
teaching and LSP translation.
In the light of the above, this conference
intends to explore LSP research at all levels
of specialization and in all its forms -
professional, institutional, scientific and
technical - with special regard to its
pedagogical and translational implications.
Investigations of textual, semantic and
pragmatic aspects of LSP teaching and
translation are especially welcome, as are
methodological approaches drawing on genre
analysis, contrastive linguistics and corpus
linguistics.
The key-issues of the conference include (but
are by no means limited to) the following:
1. LSP Teaching & Pedagogy
- LSP research and language teaching in the
university, and in professional and corporate
settings
- English-medium instruction in the
university
- Choice of varieties (e.g. ELF) to be taught
as a second or foreign language in specialised
domains
- CLIL
- Traditional and new media in LSP teaching
- Corpus linguistics and LSP teaching
2. LSP and translation (contrastive,
interlinguistic and intercultural
perspectives)
- LSP research, translation and language
teaching
- Translation practices in institutional,
technical, scientific and academic settings
- Translation and intercultural mediation in
public diplomacy and in transnational corporate
communication
- Translation and rewriting in popularizing
communication
- Translation and localization in the new
media
