Welcome to the UCCTS 2010 conference!
Since the 1980s, the corpus-based approach has
revolutionised nearly all branches of language studies. The rapid development of
multilingual corpora, including parallel and comparable corpora, is particularly
relevant and important to translation and contrastive studies. The corpus-based
approach has developed into "a coherent, composite and rich paradigm that
addresses a variety of issues pertaining to theory, description, and the
practice of translation" (Laviosa 1998), and it has been argued to be "central
to the way that Translation Studies as a discipline will remain vital and move
forward" (Tymoczko 1998). Likewise, the same is indeed also true of contrastive
studies. Multilingual corpus resources such as parallel and comparable corpora
have been recognised as a principal reason for the revival of contrastive
linguistics that has taken place since the 1990s (Salkie 1999). In addition to
significantly advancing translation studies and cross-linguistic contrast,
corpus-based contrastive and translation studies have also expanded the field of
corpus linguistics.
An international conference like Using Corpora in
Contrastive and Translation Studies (UCCTS) can clearly benefit translation and
contrastive studies as well as corpus linguistics by providing a forum that
brings together experts around the world who work in both areas. The 2010
conference is the second meeting in the biennial UCCTS series, launched to
provide a forum for exploring the creation and use of corpora in contrastive and
translation studies. The UCCTS 2010 conference covers, but is not confined to,
the following themes:
Design and development of comparable and
parallel corpora;
Processing of multilingual corpora;
Using corpora in translation studies and
teaching;
Using corpora in cross-linguistic contrast;
Corpus-based comparative research of source
native language, translated language and target native language;
Corpus-based research of interface between
contrastive and translation studies;
Bilingual terminology, lexicology and
lexicography.
This year's event is jointly organised by Edge Hill
University, the University of Bologna, and Beijing Foreign Studies University.
We hope you enjoy your time at the conference!
