Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia
Call for Papers
Submission Deadline for abstracts: 6 April, 2012
2012 marks the 25th anniversary of the Australian Institute of Interpreters and Translators Incorporated (AUSIT). Over the past 25 years, AUSIT has made a significant contribution to improving the professional practice of translating and interpreting in Australia. On the occasion of this biennial conference, we aim to celebrate those achievements and build on the successes of the past.
Proposals for individual papers, workshops and posters are invited from both translation and interpreting scholars and practising translators and interpreters. Abstracts should be 250 words for individual papers
and posters and 500 words for workshops. Presentations on all aspects of translation and interpreting studies are welcome. However, priority will be given to papers that address the following themes which focus on drawing inspiration from the past for a brighter future in T & I:
� Innovative practice in translation and interpreting
� Innovative pedagogies for translator and interpreter education
� Innovative practices in the assessment of translators and interpreters
� Innovations in the implementation of language policy for improved service provision
� Innovations in research trends in translation and interpreting studies
Proposals are invited for the following types of presentation:
� Papers will be allocated 20 minutes for presentation plus 10 minutes for discussion.
� Workshops will be allocated 1.5 hours.
� Posters will be allocated a special session, when the presenters will have the opportunity to discuss their work. The posters will then remain on display for the rest of the conference.
To submit a proposal for the AUSIT 2012 Conference, please use our online.
Important dates:
Deadline for abstract submission: 6 April 2012
Abstracts reviewed and rated from 6 April to 18 May 2012
Notification to authors of acceptance: after 22 May 2012
Conference: 1-3 December 2012

8th International Workshop on Natural Language Processing and Cognitive Science - NLPCS 2011
Special Theme: Human-Machine Interaction in Translation
http://www.cbs.dk/nlpcs2011
20-21 August, 2011 - Copenhagen, Denmark
Important Dates for NLPCS 2011
Paper Submission: 2nd May 2011
Authors' Notification: 6th June 2011
Final Paper Submission: 15th July 2011
Registration and Payment: 15th July 2011
Workshop : 20-21 August 2011
Scope and Topics of NLPCS workshop
The aim of this workshop is to foster interactions among researchers and practitioners in Natural Language Processing (NLP) working within the paradigm of Cognitive Science (CS). Research into NLP involves concepts and methods from many fields including artificial intelligence, linguistics, computational linguistics, statistics, computer science, and most importantly cognitive science.
The overall emphasis of the workshop is on the contribution of cognitive science to language processing, including conceptualisation, representation, discourse processing, meaning construction, ontology building, and text mining.
The special theme of this year's NLPCS workshop is "Human-Machine Interaction in Translation" . Therefore, we particularly welcome papers addressing aspects of human and machine translation and human-computer interaction in translation.
Additional topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
– Cognitive and Psychological Models of NLP
– Computational Models of NLP
– Evolutionary NLP
– Situated (embodied) NLP
– Multimodality in speech / text processing
– Text Summarisation and Information Extraction
– Natural Language Interfaces and Dialogue Systems
– Multi-Lingual Processing
– Pragmatics and NLP
– Speech Processing
– Tools and Resources in NLP
– Human and Machine Translation
– Ontologies
– Text Mining
– Electronic Dictionaries
– Evaluation of NLP Systems
These topics can be addressed from any of the following perspectives:
full automation by machines for machine (traditional NLP or HLT), semi-automated processing, i.e. machine-mediated processing (programs assisting people in their tasks), simulation of human cognitive processes.
With this year's special theme we also welcome submissions on translators' experiences with CAT tools, human-machine interface design, methods for and evaluation of interactive machine translation, feasibility studies, user simulation, etc.

Translation, from One Sex to the Other: Discovering the Feminine and Masculine in Translation
Guest Speaker: Dr. Luise von Flotow
Professor and Director of the School of Translation and Interpretation, University of Ottawa
The Concordia Graduate Student Association in Translation is pleased to announce its 10th annual Graduate Student conference. This year we will be considering, among various subjects, translation as a "gendered" activity. Translation Studies and Gender Studies can bring us to a new level of awareness of the shifting nature of language, meaning and identity throughout history and in today's society. For our decennial colloquium we will be revisiting this theme in its various forms.
We welcome submissions from students working in Translation Studies and other related disciplines that shed light on gender and translation.
Some possible questions to consider:
- Can texts or their translations be thought of, in themselves, as "gendered"? How does the role of the translator relate to the roles of men and/or women in society?
- How do gender, sex and/or sexual identity play into texts and translations?
- How do feminist theories inform our understanding of translations?
- How do translations throughout history reflect different views of the translator in society?
- How does gender in translation relate to themes such as nationalism, geography or war?
- How does gender in translation relate to medical or scientific fields?
Submissions may be in either French or English and should include an abstract of approximately 200-250 words. Please submit your proposal electronically to tragrad@alcor.concordia.ca before 5 pm, February 18, 2011.
