Whatever the basis of their theoretical approach (corpus linguistics, literature, philosophy, stylistics, etc.), the translation specialist can hardly ignore linguistics and its contributions, which are (all too) often regarded as restrictive in the broad intercultural field of translation.
These are, then, the theoretical and epistemological implications of a sometimes conflicting, sometimes felicitous relationship that this conference proposes to probe and to renew.
Among other issues, the conference encourages examination of:
the respective delimitations of contrastive linguistics and translation theory as disciplinary fields,
the affinities and overlappings of discourses in translation theory and linguistics; discourses on both linguistics and translation may also be examined and analyzed.
Proposal format:
Abstracts (1 page minimum, 2 pages maximum, Times New Roman 12 with 1.5 spacing) should be sent as attached documents (.doc(x) or .rtf) without the name of the author(s). They should contain:
the title of the proposal,
the abstract (main examples, general conclusions, theoretical frame and concepts, information on the corpus),
3 to 5 references.
A second document bearing the name(s), institution(s) and contact details of the author(s), professional and personal addresses, personal and/or professional phone number(s), email address(es), as well as the title of the proposal.
The proposals must be sent by 20 January, 2013 to:
