Venue: University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK
Event theme(s): Domains of specific interest will be interlanguage pragmatics, mediation (with reference to real-life or fictional contexts, i.e. translation/interpreting, but also dubbing / subtitling / translation / adaptation of fictional interactions, for example) and non-standard varieties of language. These are spheres of enquiry in which cross-cultural issues and their implications in various respects (e.g. pragmatic development for interlanguage) surface with peculiar acuteness, and which give us privileged access to data for refining their study. Questions the workshop will aim to explore include: the interface between the linguistic and the cultural, between speech frames and cultural perceptions, misapprehensions of pragmatic values across languages and their implications, issues of membership knowledge generally, issues of transfer, intercultural styles.

Bridging Cultures through Language Interchange: 6th Symposium on Translation, Terminology and Interp
Type of Event:
Symposium
Date: 2006/12/05
Venue: La Habana (Cuba)
Event theme(s): Translation, interpretation and terminology serve as a bridge between cultures and can be adapted to fit any given situation. It is from this perspective that we call on colleagues from around the world to give some thought to important issues such as the type of ties that can be established among cultures with major or minor languages, those that coexist within the same country, those that have recently arrived in a country, and those with different historical and political underpinnings. :: What are the rights of speakers of indigenous languages to be heard in their mother tongue? How does domestic legislation treat language rights? :: How does one meet the challenge of multilingualism within a multicultural community? :: What role do language professionals play in defending their culture? :: And to what extent do language professionals assume the role of "mediators" in this context? These are only some of the issues that will be discussed at the 6th Symposium, in an effort to maintain our well-established tradition of research into language-related matters.
