Second Workshop on Modelling Translation: Translatology in the Digital Age (MoTra-2023)

 

Submissions deadline: March 20, 2023 –> March 27, 2023
Workshop Day: May 22, 2023
Location: Tórshavn, Faroe Islands (hybrid format)
Submissions link: https://openreview.net/group?id=NoDaLiDa/2023/Workshop/MoTra

TOPIC AND GOALS OF THE WORKSHOP

————————————————————-

MoTra-2023 aims to promote interdisciplinary and computational approaches to human translation, offering an opportunity for researchers in empirical translation studies, computational and corpus linguistics, NLP, cognitive science to exchange knowledge and methodological expertise in modelling various aspects of translation. Along with traditional research questions related to translationese, variation in translation, translation quality assessment, we encourage submissions on interpreting studies, multimodal translation, modelling translational strategies from cognitive, semantic and pragmatic perspectives as well as contributions presenting language resources for translation studies and translation-related software. We are particularly interested in forging a link between translation studies and machine translation and invite research at the interface of these fields. (mehr …)
