Invitation to T & I Day
| Saturday 29 March 2008 |
Invitation to Translation & Interpreting Day
We are very happy to invite you to participate in the Translation & Interpreting (T&I) Day, which is part of the congress programme of the 35th International Systemic Functional Congress (ISFC), Macquarie University, Sydney (website: http://minerva.ling.mq.edu.au/isfc/).
As you know, the theme of this years congress is Voices around the World. In keeping with this theme, we recognize that T&I plays a pivotal role in the development of communication between speakers of different languages around world. Therefore, we have specifically designated one day (23 July 2008) as a forum to bring together leading researchers, educators, practitioners and students to discuss current issues and research projects in the field of T&I. The theme of the congress means that there will be a considerable number of contributions to T & I studies and that participants in the Congress will come from all major regions around the world, bringing a rich range of languages to the discussion, including Chinese, French, Japanese, Korean, Spanish and English, to name a few.
The program for the full day is as follows:
Morning
Plenary
Keynote sessions & workshops
15 minute keynote sessions followed by 45 minute workshops from leading academics and practitioners to discuss research projects and current issues.
Afternoon
New Voices
20 minute sessions for research students to report on their projects and receive feedback from senior academics, practitioners and colleagues.
Parallel papers
30-40 minute parallel papers on current issues and research projects in the field. Abstracts are invited.
If you would like to present a paper, please submit your abstract to isfc2008@ling.mq.edu.au by 1 May 2008 with a subject line that includes ISFC 2008: T&I Day (New Voices or Parallel Section). (Visit ISFC2008 for detailed instructions for abstract submission.) Research students may wish to report on their current or future projects to get feedback from senior academics and colleagues.
After abstracts have been refereed, contributors whose submissions have been accepted will have an opportunity to submit a six-page paper for inclusion in an electronic refereed volume of congress proceedings to be published in time for the Congress.
We are very much looking forward to meeting you on the special day.
