LEXYTRAD

Research Group "Lexicography and Translation"

On May 27th our research group had the honor to organise a lecture with the collaboration of the Department of Translation and Interpreting and the University of Malaga. Jean-Pierre Colson, professor in Translation and Interpreting of the Université catholique de Louvain, gave a conference titled “Is phraseology the third articulation of language? Fresh insights into a theoretical conundrum” and addressed to the students of the Official Master in Translation Applied to the World of Publishing and the doctoral students of the PhD Programme in Linguistics, Literature and Translation. Among the attendees, we could find some renowned researches: Dr. Antonio Pamies, from the University of Granada, and Prof. Ruslan Mitkov, from the University of Wolverhampton and member of LEXYTRAD.

We would like to thank Dr. Colson for his rewarding conference and all the attendees for their participation in the event!

The EXPERT business showcase took place in Rome on the 9th of May, at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Open to the scientific and commercial community, this event was held to demonstrate the innovations developed by the Experienced Researchers of the project and disseminate the outcomes of EXPERT to potential end-users: translators and the general public. The invited speakers from the industry gave advice to the researchers on how to bring their work into practice.

The Early Stage Researchers also made their contribution by participating in a Dragon’s Den session: each one made a 5-minutes presentation focused on the practical aspects of the research. Our researchers Hernani Costa and Anna Zaretskaya talked about Assessing Terminology Tools through their Features <https://eden.dei.uc.pt/~hpcosta/docs/papers/presentations/201605-EXPERTRome.pdf> and User Requirements for Translation Technologies, respectively.

The European Project “SHIFT in Orality. SHaping the Interpreters of the Future and of Today” directed by Dr. Félix San Vicente has been granted. Congratulations to our colleagues, Dr. Estefanía Flores and Dr. Pilar Rodríguez, who are also part of the team!
