TRANSLATION CONCEPTS

We are an international network of young & experienced researchers who conceptualize ‘mediated communication' as Translation Concepts (coherence, context, isotopy, theme/rheme) in an effort to consolidate the theoretical framework of Translation and raise the general awareness of its complexity as a communicative task. By discussing and reflecting upon authentic translation and interpreting scenarios as well as specific questions emanating from the emerging new fields of audiodescription, live subtitling and written interpretation we develop and publish concepts, models and methodologies for translational task analysis, transfer and (re)production processes.
