Call for Papers In recent decades, the dramatic development and continual updating of specialist areas has encouraged the implementation of specific codes of expression that make the transfer of specialized knowledge possible. This implies change at various levels: in peer-to-peer scientific discourse that has generally switched to an English-only format; at the terminological level, in the assessment of new concepts, terms and definitions; from the perspective of neology and naming; in the popularization of the discourse of science; in language mediation, where translation plays a key role. Most European countries (in particular those where minority languages with a strong historical and cultural/literary background are spoken), and above all the new EU member states, are developing ambitious projects in order to standardize and harmonize terminology in various fields, above all in the key fields of economy, business, administration, justice, etc. The growing specialization of peer-to-peer communication in fields where English is the dominant language, the accompanying growth of specialized translation, and, on the other hand, the requirement of less specialized communication favouring the popularization of science in both the L1 (English) and L2, all seem to point to a need to assess the state-of-the-art of terminology within national boundaries while recognising a context in which English is dominant. From this perspective, the conference aims to address mainly, but not exclusively, the following issues: - special field terminology: key issues, case studies - terminological innovation as the result of scientific development - key issues in knowledge organization and concept analysis - national languages and terminology policies - attitudes towards language change - neologisms in target languages: problems of standardization - terminology and translation; TM and MT resourcesBeing aware of the fact that national policies on language issues are in no way homogeneous, the organizers are looking forward to diverse papers and lively presentations and discussions. Abstracts (in English) are invited for oral presentations (20 minutes plus 10 minutes discussion). Paper proposals should include the following and be structured as follows: - title - author's name/s and affiliation/s - email address - text body (abstract, max. 300 words) - basic bibliography - short bio-sketch (max. 60 words)The text should be written in Times New Roman 12 pt, single spaced.Please save your paper proposal as "Proposal_TTEC_lastname.doc" and send it in email attachment to: ttec.roma3@gmail.com paola.faini@uniroma3.it Submission deadline: 30 April 2014Notification of acceptance: 30 May 2014Registration deadline: 30 June 2014Post-conference: a selection of papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

The increasing pace of change facilitated by technology, multiculturalism,data explosion, political changes, globalisation and its economics hasaffected the way translators and interpreters work. We are expected to workfaster, while acquiring a vast range of skills often unrelated to the actualprocessing of words: marketing, programming, project management, andendlessly changing technology. In addition, we need to maintain our in-depthlinguistic and subject-specific expertise.The Conference aims at filling in a perceived gap in addressing these issuesfrom the practitioners¹ point of view and in a way that talks directly tothem so that the information and knowledge gained from the sessions willdirectly improve the way they work. It intends to bridge the gap between thedisciplines of technology, business and theory, and translation /interpreting, bringing the still-imagined future into the present alreadysweeping us along. The Conference is also a great opportunity for networking, idea-generating and sharing of knowledge.AUSIT Biennial Conference will also be exciting and useful for thetranslation and interpreting practitioners.With three thematic streams technology, business and theory-as-praxis the Conference organisers are looking for presentations that bring in newideas and diverse ways of looking at the issues and challenges facing theprofessional. Papers can address, but are not limited to, any of thefollowing subjects:* Promoting professionalism* Services marketing* Impact of economics on the profession* Diversification strategies* Legal aspects of the profession (intellectual property, workinginternationally, contractual obligations)* Politics and ethics of translation* Improving productivity (technology and/or business tactics)* Quality enhancement* Impact of technology on the profession* Big Data and translation* Practical applications of translation theory* Cross-cultural communication issues in interpreting/translation* Trans-creation* Globalisation, language and translation* LocalisationAUSIT seeks submissions for:* paper presentations of about 20 minutes duration,* A2 posters* proposals for workshops or panel discussions of 30 60 minutes duration.Interested authors should submit<mailto:papers@ausitconference.org> their250- word abstracts and a short professional biography (including a photo)in English language to the Secretary of the Academic Committee by 25thApril, 2014.Successful applicants will be notified in July 2014.CONTACT DETAILSEnquiries about scientific content of the proposed papers can be sent to theOrganising Committee members Sam Berner<mailto:sberner@ausitconference.org> or SarahDillon <mailto:sdillon@ausitconference.org>Any other general inquiries about the conference can be sent to theSecretary of the Organising Committee<mailto: info@ausitconference.org>
'The translator' lies at the heart of much research in translation studies and other disciplines and yet closer inspection reveals 'the translator' to be an intriguingly nebulous concept. This conference invites postgraduate researchers from arts and humanities, social sciences and other fields to revisit and advance work on the figure of the translator and the criteria that contribute to our understanding of the protean persona, focusing on such criteria as competence, credentials and creativity. While we welcome any perspective on the translator, we also hope to showcase a strand of work oncontemporary translators. For example, it might be revealing to explore the impact of technology and Web 2.0 on translators and to expand recent work on non-professional translators (e.g. fan translators, activist translators or natural translators). A conference hosted in Wales may also provide a particularly appropriate setting for the consideration of the translator's role in (re-)constructing contemporary group identities, be it local or global, national, transnational or 'post-national'. Another avenue of inquiry might concern the postmodern perceptions of the fluidity of borders between socio-cultural and artistic entities as well as media, and the resulting perceived overlaps between the figures of 'the translator', the migrant, the author, the artist and other socio-cultural agents. Finally, the discussion might be informed by the current trend to incorporate, broadly speaking, non-Western conceptualizations of translation and 'the translator'. Papers may address questions which include, but are not limited to, the following: Language and translation/interpreting competence Technological competence and subject specialization Translator/interpreter training and the profession Bilingualism, biculturalism, code-switching Non-professional translators/interpreters The translator's credentials and authority The translator and group identity (local, national, global etc.) The translator's identity and visibility The translator's creativity and craft Adaptation and inter-media translation The translator and the artist (writer, musician, film-maker etc.) The translator and the migrant The translator and communicating between fields of knowledge The translator: past and present Please send a 300 word proposal for a 20 minute presentation along with a short biographical note atthe.translator.pg.conference@gmail.com by 31 March 2014. We will notify you of the results by 5 April 2014 (please contact us if you require an earlier response to be able to attend). Please use the same contact address for queries. Please inform us if you would like to deliver a paper in Welsh: every effort will be made to provide simultaneous English interpretation. We would appreciate if you could supply an abstract in English (as well as Welsh if relevant). Organizing committee: Dia Borresly, Lisi Liang, Esther Liu, Sara Orwig, Dorota Goluch The event is kindly supported by the University Graduate College and the European School of Languages, Politics and Translation. Our event coincides in time with another event co-organized by the European School of Languages, Politics and Translation, which might be of interest to our participants: it is the 'Translation in Music' symposium, held on 25-26 May 2014.
