Translation and Lexicography

Edited by María del Mar Sánchez Ramos*, María Porciel Crosa^ and Iris Serrat Roozen°

Dictionaries –general and specialized, printed and online– are one of the most important tools for the translator. Language professionals need to know how to consult and use dictionaries in order to complete a translation task effectively, while students of translation need to learn skills to do so. The relationship between dictionaries and Translation Studies seems also worth investigating. Nevertheless, as some scholars have pointed out (Fenner, 1989; Roberts, 1997; Corpas Pastor, 2001) dictionaries—and lexicography more in general— have not be given the attention they deserve in Translation Studies.

Submissions are invited for a special issue of inTRAlinea online journal of translation studies on Translation and Lexicography, to be published in 2013.

Beyond Mediation? Exploring Translation and Interpretation

in the Current Globalized Landscape

The graduate students of the School of Translation at Glendon College, York University, are pleased to announce the fourth annual graduate student conference in Translation Studies, to be held at Glendon College, Toronto in March 2013.

The realities of the 21^st century have brought into sharp focus the role of translation and interpretation in an increasingly globalized world; they are omnipresent, albeit often invisible, instruments in the construction of knowledge, and play an indispensable role in cultural, economic, geo-political, linguistic and technological exchanges.

Increased movement within and across cultural and linguistic boundaries, as well as new media of communication have brought about a greater awareness of cultural and linguistic diversity, an awareness that has not necessarily led to a significant difference in attitudes toward such diversity.

‘Language and Cultural Aspects of International Mediation’ is a two-day event which will be held on the 15th (afternoon), 16th and 17th (morning) August at the University of Nottingham (University Park Campus) in the UK.
