Call for Participation

TERMINOLOGY, COMPUTING AND TRANSLATION
26-27 March 2004, Swansea, United Kingdom
http://www.swan.ac.uk/french/Terminology-2004/

Hosted by the University of Wales Swansea


MEETING DESCRIPTION

The topic of terminology has been approached traditionally from the
perspective of standardization. More recently, corpus-based approaches have
gained prominence. A question which is relevant to both approaches concerns
the relationship of terminology to a theory of the lexicon.

In this conference, these perspectives will be considered not only
theoretically, but also from a practical angle. The study and management of
terminology is an essential component of commercial, technical, and
scientific translation. Computational tools provide an almost indispensible
help to any translator, whether working in an institutional translation
service, an independent translation company, or as a free-lance translator.
The programme of this conference organized jointly by Pius ten Hacken
(University of Wales Swansea) and Willy Martin (Vrije Universiteit
Amsterdam) consists of presentations by invited speakers, poster
presentations by MA students, and a panel discussion. A reception will be
offered by the School of European Languages of the University of Wales
Swansea at the end of the first day.

The conference takes place at the campus of the University of Wales Swansea,
situated on the beautiful coast of South Wales. A registration form can be
downloaded from the web site.
