Call for Papers
Interpreting for Relevance: discourse and translation (Conference 2) is a
continuation of Interpreting for Relevance: discourse and translation
(Conference 1) held in June 2002 (see: http://www.ifrc.dinoz.net/) . By
interpreting we mean the human abilities to understand and produce verbal
messages and to negotiate meanings in discourse. By interpreting for
relevance we mean interpreting, following some principles guiding the
interpretation. It is discussing such principles (especially those coming
from the Theory of Relevance) that is the goal of the conference. The
principles underlie various types of discourse. When we separate discourse
and translation we do not wish to suggest that the two should be kept
apart. The juxtaposition serves the purpose of highlighting two foci of our
interest in communication phenomena.
The leading themes are:
1. The Theory of Relevance and its developments.
2. Principles guiding discourse interpretation (including
interpretation of literary texts).
3. Principles guiding translators' choices.
We welcome contributions focusing on principles that guide processes of
interpretation in discourse and translation (especially those
relevance-theory-oriented).
Talks will be organized around major topics, depending on the contents of
the submissions. The format is 20 minutes for presentation + 10 minutes
question time. Proposals for workshops, panel discussions and other
sessions are welcome. Plenaries will take from 45 minutes to 1,5 hour
including discussion.
