Educating translators as agents of social change: A systematic literature review on the impact of service-learning on translator competences
This systematic literature review examines the integration of service-learning (SL) into translator education, with a focus on its impact on the development of key translation competences as outlined in the European Master’s in Translation (EMT) framework ( 2022 ). Service-learning, a pedagogical approach that combines community service with academic learning, is known to foster the development of professional and interpersonal skills in real-wor…
The evolution of Translation (Studies) in the Technocene
The experiences and reflections of translation studies scholars offer a privileged vantage point from which to interpret the technology-driven social changes brought about by GenAI that, as citizens, we are all trying to take in and adjust to. This special issue presents a reflection on the developments in translation (studies) as a case in point, offering our collective experience in dealing with the Technocene to other professional and expert f…
Corpus approaches to news translation: We can do better than comparable
This contribution addresses the challenging issue of building corpus resources for the study of news translation, a domain in which the coexistence of radical rewriting and close translation makes the use of established corpus-assisted analytical techniques problematic. In an attempt to address these challenges, we illustrate and test two related methods for identifying translated segments within trilingual (Spanish, French and English) sets of d…
Formação em tradução entre competências, profissão e engajamento cívico: Algumas reflexões sobre service-learning
A formação em tradução desenvolveu-se rapidamente nos últimos vinte anos e foi acompanhada por uma intensa reflexão sobre as competências e abordagens pedagógicas necessárias para adquiri-las, impulsionada também por iniciativas como a rede EMT (European Master’s in Translation), que têm favorecido o contato entre instituições de ensino superior formadoras de tradutores(as) profissionais. Recentemente, tem sido dedicada particular atenção sobretu…
Constrained language use in Finnish: A corpus-driven approach
It has been suggested that second languages and translated languages are constrained by an interplay of several linguistic systems. This paper reports on a data-driven quantitative study on constrained Finnish. We detect linguistic phenomena that distinguish constrained from non-constrained Finnish across constrained varieties, first/source languages, and registers. Implementing a two-phase method, we first detect key quantitative differences of …
Simplified or not Simplified? The Different Guises of Mediated English at the European Parliament
In this article we describe a framework for the corpus-based comparative investigation of interpreting and translation, illustrating it through a study of simplification across different modes of language production and across different language pairs. We rely on EPTIC, a corpus featuring plenary speeches at the European Parliament in their interpreted and translated versions, aligned to each other and to their source texts in English Italian and…
Aprendizagem Por Descoberta No Ensino De Línguas Para Estudantes De Tradução
Este trabalho tece uma revisão acerca da noção de aprendizagem por descoberta através do uso de corpora, inicialmente proposta nos anos 1990, e avalia seu potencial e suas implicações para a formação de tradutores na atualidade. Discute-se o arcabouço que subjaz essa abordagem no que concerne o aprendizado movido por dados, e promove-se uma articulação entre a instrução baseada em projetos e a instrução focada na forma, ambas em ambientes inspira…
Discovery learning in the language-for-translation classroom: Corpora as Learning Aids
http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-7968.2016v36nesp1p14This contribution reviews the idea of discovery learning with corpora, proposed in the 1990s, evaluating its potential and its implications with reference to the education of translators today. The rationale behind this approach to data-driven learning, combining project-based and form-focused instruction within a socio-constructivistically inspired environment, is discussed. Examples are also pr…
Practice, Description and Theory Come Together - Normalization or Interference in Italian Technical Translation
This article aims at the characterization of specific features of translated texts. Taking a classroom experience as its starting point, the use of anglicisms in original and translated computing texts in Italian is examined. The corpus used for this purpose has three components: originals in Italian, comparable translations into Italian, and their English source texts. The frequency of three sets of English words - overt lexical borrowings, adap…

Designing a Corpus for Translation and Language Teaching: The Cexi Experience
Building resources for the education of future language mediators is a widely felt need in Europe today. Translation and interpreting schools have experienced a boom in the past two decades (Caminade & Pym, 1995), with the consequent need to adapt language teaching practices and develop translation teaching approaches tuned to these specializa- tions. A number of researchers working in this setting (see, e.g., the collection edited by Aston, 2001…
