The International Association of Professional Translators and Interpreters (IAPTI)

Cognitive Explorations of Translation
IATIS Yearbook 2010
Cognitive Explorations of Translation focuses on the topic of investigating translation processes from a cognitive perspective. With little published on this topic to date, Sharon O'Brien brings together a global collection of contributors covering a range of topics.
Central themes include modelling translation competence, construction and reformulation of text meaning, translators' behaviour during translation and what methodologies can best be utilized to investigate these topics. Techniques covered include eye-tracking, Think-Aloud protocols, keyboard logging and EEG (Electroencephalogram).
This book will be of interest to researchers and postgraduates in translation studies and cognitive linguistics as well as practicing translators.
IATIS Members can download chapters via the Members Only section.
Translating Business Film Material
As they strive to keep up with globalisation and rapid technological change (from video tape to CD, DVD, Internet use, iPhones, iPads, etc.), companies constantly increase their use of film to advertise, communicate information or train staff. This specific type of audiovisual material represents a complex set of problems for the translator.

Conference Venue
|
The conference will be held at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) in Bellville. The University, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in the year 2000, is one of the youngest and most dynamic places of higher learning in South Africa. |
|
|
The University of the Western Capewas established in 1959 by an Act of Parliament as an ethnic college for "coloured" students. Since then, it has transformed itself from a small apartheid educational institution to an internationally recognised university with a reputation for excellence in teaching, learning and research. UWC has a rich history of opposition to apartheid. For nearly three decades - from the 1970s through to the early 1990s -students and staff consistently protested against segregation and inequality in society and, particularly, in higher education. Bellville is situated in the northern suburbs of Cape Town. It is 20 minutes’ drive from Cape Town international airport, half an hour’s drive from Cape Town city centre, and approximately half an hour from Stellenbosch, the heart of the Cape winelands region. |

Cape Town is famous for its stunning views, and visitors can also enjoy the delights of its scenic harbour from the popular Victoria & Alfred Waterfront complex. For a map of the area click here. |
