#LancsSS24 is over – thanks so much to everyone – speakers, helpers & participants for making it such a great week with #corpuslinguistics@LancasterUni. We very much hope that we will meet each other again - at conferences, workshops, vivas... And maybe see you at #LancsSS25!
Prof Hailing Yu enlightening us with SFL engagement with translation studies and SFL-informed TS. Wonderful to see a TS scholar visible as plenary speaker at a major linguistics congress! #isfc49#unsw
Revitalizing an endangered Aboriginal language with Shakespeare and Bruce Lee to “make it matter” to the public, from Clint Bracknell #east5#uq#translationstudies
Very interesting talk from Nana Sato-Rossberg theorizing novelization (of films/anime) as translation that is intra-lingual & inter-semiotic. #eats5#uq#translation
Prof @liu_minhua shows that professional interpreters enjoy extra cognitive abilities than amateur bilinguals (who also possess advantages over monolinguals) because of their interpreting training, not linguistic aptitude. #east5#uq
@yu_clara shares her fascinating ethnographic projects working with and supporting two very different communities of practice, including marginalized linguistic communities in HK.
@MichaMahlberg uses corpus linguistics to powerfully expose gendered patterns in language and highlights the power of stories/narratives that involve the listeners. It was worth every second of a Sunday 9 am!
Brilliant keynote by @BinghanZheng on stress in translation - showing a range of experimental methods (eg eye glasses, wristbands, neuroimaging, keystroke logging) to better understand stressors and mitigation techniques
A brilliant example showing the “ideology” of ChatGPT Translation from Michael Sharkey! Pity I don’t know the prompts to replicate the results. @CuhkCTT
