Invitation to colloquium on Prediction in Interpreting

On behalf of project B7, we hereby announce the forthcoming colloquium on „Prediction in interpreting: Advances in experimental and corpus-based methods“ on Friday, 6 February. The goal is to create a space where researchers can discuss methodological challenges and best practises on building spoken corpora with ASR, as well as to explore how experimental and corpus-based approaches can complement one another in studying predictability in interpreting. Several outstanding researchers have been invited to present their work and share their best practices. The detailed programme is attached.

One of the guests is Thomas Clark (MIT, https://thomashikaru.github.io/). He will already be in Saarbrücken on Thursday, 5 February. If you are interested in meeting him, please get in touch with Christina Pollkläsener (christina.pollklaesener@uni-saarland.de).
