Translation, interpretation and terminology

from intercultural and interlingual perspectives

This strand includes discussing the practices and epistemological foundations of translation, interpretation, and terminology that require responding to the needs and challenges of oral, written or visual-gestural communication in various personal, social, academic, administrative and professional areas in post-modernity. In addition, it includes studies on the education of translators and interpreters, the ethics of translation and interpretation, textual, cognitive, and corpus linguistics, intercultural mediation, and the use of technology in translation practices, terminology, and interpretation.

More information will be available soon. See you in November!
