In the last decades contacts between Asian and European countries have intensified in many areas: research, education, business, culture and tourism. With the rapid growth in human mobility, technological developments, business opportunities, and the hegemony of English, we are witness to major changes eroding the historical frames of social, cultural and linguistic reference. However, in many European countries, including Poland, cross-cultural language studies and education are still based on the canonic literature reinforcing the traditional divide between 'Western' and 'Oriental' systems of values. The purpose of this conference is to revisit the key assumptions behind the traditional 'Oriental' (East-Asian) and 'Western' (European) models of communication, with a focus on areas of interest for applied linguists, i.e.: text and genre organization, discourse strategies and ideologies, social interaction principles, and context and user characteristics. Are the new realities, challenges and expectations leading to the emergence of new styles of communication, patterns of social interaction, or types of social positioning on others? Does global multilingualism call for a redefinition of self- and group concepts in both cultural environments? What consequences does it imply for research and educational programs in cross-cultural communication, translation and language pedagogy? The conference aims to bring together scholars interested in broadly defined interdisciplinary studies of East-Asian and European discourses. Its ultimate goals are to settle the key areas of difference and to develop the key guidelines for coordinate language research and education in the fields of applied linguistics, contrastive (discourse) grammars, specialist discourse analysis, critical discourse analysis, translation theory and practice as well as foreign language teaching. Invited speakers who have already confirmed their attendance: Professor Hailong Tian (Tianjin Foreign Studies University): Difference of discourse systems and cross-cultural communication: Observing Chinese politicians' speeches in other cultural settings Professor Issac Yue (University of Hong Kong): What's for dinner? Gastronomy as a linguistic genre and its translational implications Professor Adam Jaworski (University of Hong Kong): Translating Chinese tourists abroad: Language, culture and the de-centering of global mobility Professor Romuald Huszcza (University of Warsaw): To be announced Professor Arkadiusz Jabłoński (Adam Mickiewicz University): To be announced Call for papers We invite proposals for 20-minute presentations in the areas of comparative culture studies, (critical) discourse studies, contrastive rhetoric, specialist genre analysis, translation and language teaching with a focus on Asian-European points of encounter. Abstracts of 300 words should be sent to a.lenko@uw.edu.pl by 30 May 2014.

Healthcare interpreting is one of the most important areas of community interpreting, where issues of life and death may be at stake. Cases in the media frequently reveal the impact that interpreting can have on the plight of patients. Yet, despite the importance of healthcare interpreting, most countries still lack a formal system of training and accreditation for healthcare interpreters, and most of the demand is met by ad-hoc arrangements, often involving family members. This panel, which will be jointly organised by the IATIS Training Committee and Bogazici University in Istanbul, aims to focus on the main issues in developing and implementing proper healthcare interpreting systems and services. Panel leaders: Bernd Meyer from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz will join the panel online and set up the main framework for the discussion, giving examples from international practice. Jonathan Ross from Bogazici University will survey the situation in Turkey, focusing on the need for, and challenges in, creating formal systems for healthcare interpreting. The panel will also host a healthcare interpreter (name to be confirmed) who will talk about the day-to-day issues in interpreting in healthcare settings. The panel will take place at Bogazici University on 9 May 2104, 2 pm. It will be recorded and made available on the IATIS website. The event is free but you need to register.

Call for proposalsThe biennial conference event Art in Translation will be held in Reykjavík for the third time in the fall of 2014. It is open to academics, artists and creative entrepreneurs who wish to present their projects within an international and interdisciplinary environment. On this occasion, the title of the conference is "The Art of Being in Between." We hope that this provides a rich vein of ideas for academics, artists and indeed anyone engaged in visual, literary, musical, dramatic, filmic or intermedial arts. As ever, we envisage translation, in the broadest sense of the word, as one of the presiding concepts of the conference, allowing us an opportunity to focus on both what can be said to be transferred between cultures and languages and what perhaps remains, in a less stable state, oscillating between them. Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Reality and stage Art, literature and music in the electronic age Imagination, constructs and fabricated memory Experience and re-membering Liminality and gravities Shifts, ruptures and gaps Between rehearsal and execution Rewriting Disciplines in between Nations or regions? The fragmentation of nation states Globality of language and culture Art as mediation between cultures Intermediality Immigrant literatures The deadline for proposals for papers, events, and exhibitions is May 15, 2014. News of developments, keynote speakers and keynote events will be published on our website: www.artintranslation.hi.is. Submission Guidelines Abstracts should be no longer than 500 words. All proposals must clearly state the presenter's name, academic/professional affiliation, mailing address, phone number and email address. Presentations will be 20 minutes in length and in English. Proposals should be sent to artintranslation.iceland@gmail.com no later than May 15, 2014. Decisions will be announced by June 15, 2014. Participants are responsible for their own travel, accommodation costs, and registration fee. Conference website: http://artintranslation.hi.is/
In all languages, humans frequently use linguistic combinations called phraseological units (PUs) in communicative acts. These PUs are characterized by their institutionalized fixation and, in many cases, by their opacity. Phraseological Units —which often pose many equivalence problems to translators— are used with a very clear discursive objective, since they represent the speaker's wish to use a fixed expression in the communicative act known by most of the speech community, and adding to it a cultural, social, generational nuance, an expressive or stylistic function, etc.Badly treated over many centuries, phraseology is finally one of the great linguistic issues that is being systematically analysed since the last quarter of the 20th century.In this 5th Lucentino Conference, we would like to open further the range of phraseological studies and deal with the problems posed by phraseological variation from the areas of lexicography and translation.Traditionally, the work on phraseology has placed the emphasis on the total fixing of components and structures of verbal expressions. Variation in PUs is currently an uncontested fact and has been extensively studied and analysed. In addition, in the case of languages like Spanish, English, French, spoken in many countries, new creations or diatopic variants arise. While these diatopic expressions have been collected or analysed in their territory of influence, no comprehensive collection showing all the expressions and contrastive analysis to observe the similarities and differences between these diatopic creations with all their idiosyncratic and cultural references have been made so far.The interest of this subject lies in the ambiguity of the notion of variation under study; for example, from the following two definitions:- The first refers to any changes that fixed sequences can reflect as close paradigms, as well as all structures and transformation that they may undergo in discourse.- The second, which is not specific of fixation, has to do with the different variants that the same sequence may have according to geographical areas (diatopic variations), language registers (diaphasic variations), speakers (diastratic variations), etc.These two types of variations can be found both in the general language, and in specialized languages. While in the general language there are three focuses of interest —structuring; geographical, stylistic and individual differences; and collocation—, specialized languages are an ideal habitat to study terminology and specialized phraseology.Different lines of thought can be studied:-Theoretical dimension of the two kinds of variations concerning to the status of the units within the same variant and in its relations with the variants in the same variants and with different variants: defining elements, way of functioning, use, etc.- Building of corpus directly related to variants, and database management establishing relations between the types of variants.- Geographical variation in the major linguistic areas (French, Spanish, English, Arabic, etc..).- Social variants: differences in registers, social dialects (professional corpus, generations, etc.), and euphemistic expressions.- The individual variants as in idiolects defining, for example, the author style in literary texts or the way of talking about specific individuals.- The variants specific to jargon and specialized languages.- Pragmatic variants, such the pragmathemes, etc.Phrasal variation may also have applied dimensions: language teaching, translation and automatic processing of language. In this sense, the conference invites also proposals on the translation of phraseological units and their teaching.

Medical interpretation is a very specialized field that has evolved over time into the fastest growing specialization of interpreting practice. It is also a fragmented field with many small organization and a few national organizations representing the field. The IMIA has worked for many years to try to establish unity in the field, and in 2006 established the Consortium of Interpreter Associations (COIA), which meets annually, and the National Interpreter Services Coalition (NIAC) comprised of 8 national organizations. IMIA believes that as the profession matures, it will be important for us to present a united front to the outside world.The overriding mission of this conference is to offer an international forum to showcase the latest developments in the field, to investigate its opportunities and challenges, and to advance the quality in services provided to language minority patients worldwide. We encourage innovative ideas for presentations and activities that support the thematic questions of the conference. The format of the conference is grounded in professional networking and workshop sessions that maximize audience participation, complemented by interactive plenary sessions on key professional issues. IMIA provides a forum for new and well-established experts in the field to develop their work side by side. This conference seeks to facilitate learning as an ongoing, dynamic and social process, and strives to offer engaging sessions in which diverse participants can form bonds, participate as learners and teachers, and feel integral to the learning process. We believe presenters should make content relevant and meaningful, and offer ways to process information through dialogue, reflection, and application. http://www.imiaweb.org/conferences/callforpapers-form.asp
