The Need for Speed! Experimenting with “Speed Training” in the Scientific/Technical Translation Classroom
Most translator training courses focus on encouraging students to reflect fully, to analyze deeply, and to weigh options carefully. However, as they near the end of a translation program, they must also begin preparing for the workplace, where they will need to translate on tight deadlines. Therefore, the addition of authentic and situated learning that tests and improves students’ translation skills under time pressure makes sense. This article …

Technology and Translation
The application of technology to translation got off to an early but inauspicious start in the post‐World War II period, when initial attempts were made to develop fully automatic high‐quality machine translation systems intended to replace translators. Researchers learned, however, that translation was a highly complex task consisting of more than simply word‐for‐word substitution. Contextual, pragmatic, and real‐world information proved very di…
Technology and Terminology
Terminology is the discipline concerned with the collection, processing, description, and presentation of terms, which are lexical items used to designate concepts belonging to a specialized subject field.

Better integration for better preparation: Bringing terminology and technology more fully into translator training using the CERTT approach
Teaching terminology is not only a goal in itself, but also an important part of teaching translation, and terminology tools are essential to teaching terminology effectively. However, electronic tools for translators and terminologists have often been relegated to a small number of courses within translation programs, preventing students from fully and realistically appreciating and evaluating their usefulness. This article presents some of the …
Variation in the organization of medical terms: Exploring some motivations for term choice
The prescriptive school of thought in terminology holds that terms should be fixed items and should not be prone to variation. More recently, however, descriptive studies have begun to reveal that many terms do in fact have variants. This poses a challenge for language professionals such as translators and terminologists, who need to decide which form of a term to use in a given context. This article explores one specific type of variant that occ…

What Does It Take to Work in the Translation Profession in Canada in the 21st Century: Exploring a Database of Job Advertisements
This article contains an investigation into the translation profession in Canada in the 21st century. The aim of this study is to investigate translation from the perspective of those who employ translators by analyzing a database of job advertisements for a variety of translation-related positions that were collected between January 2000 and December 2002. Spurred on by the effects of globalization, the language industry is in a period of change…

Working with Specialized Language
Working with Specialized Language: a practical guide to using corpora introduces the principles of using corpora when studying specialized language. The resources and techniques used to investigate general language cannot be easily adopted for specialized investigations. This book is designed for users of language for special purposes (LSP). Providing guidelines and practical advice, it enables LSP users to design, build and exploit corpus resour…

Towards a Methodology for a Corpus-Based Approach to Translation Evaluation
Translation evaluation is undoubtedly one of the most difficult tasks facing a translator trainer. It is unlikely that there will ever be a ready-made formula that will transform this task into a simple one; however, this article suggests that the task can be made somewhat easier by using a specially designed Evaluation Corpus that can act as a benchmark against which translator trainers can compare student translations
Using Specialized Monolingual Native-Language Corpora as a Translation Resource: A Pilot Study
Cet article rend compte des résultats d'une expérience comparant deux traductions effectuées par des apprentis traducteurs. La première traduction a été faite à l'aide d'outils conventionnels, alors que pour la seconde l'outil consistait en un corpus monolingue spécialisé. Les résultats montrent que les traductions réalisées à l'aide du corpus sont de meilleure qualité en ce qui a trait à la compréhension du domaine, à la sélection des termes et …

Terminology and gender sensitivity: A corpus-based study of the LSP of infertility
Although the subject of gender sensitivity has been under investigation for some time in language for general purposes (LGP), this subject has not been explored in any great detail in the context of language for special purposes (LSP). There are numerous guidelines available for term formation, but the issue of gender sensitivity is not typically addressed by these guidelines. This article presents a corpus-based study of the terminology of the s…

Towards a Methodology for Exploiting Specialized Target Language Corpora as Translation Resources
Specialized target language (TL) corpora constitute an extremely valuable resource for translators, and although no specialized tools have been developed for extracting translation data from such corpora, this paper argues that translators would be remiss not to consult such resources. We describe the advantages of using specialized TL corpora and outline a number of techniques that translators can use in order to extract translation data from su…

Applied terminology: A state-of-the-art report
Two recently published collections of articles that provide an overview of the state of the art in applied terminology are discussed from the point of view of two themes recurring throughout them: comparative terminology and knowledge engineering. Comparative terminology is one of the most traditional forms of terminology and is still among the most prevalent practiced today. New necessary approaches to handling problems in this area are outlined…
Towards a corpus-based approach to terminography
In this paper, we will conduct a preliminary investigation into a relatively new approach to terminography: corpus-based terminography. This subject has thus far received very little attention in the terminology literature, so we will begin by briefly investigating the evolution of corpus-based research in the fields of linguistics and lexicography. We will then move on to examine in more detail the development of the emerging field of corpus-bas…

It has often been suggested that terms are not prone to variation. Moreover, many standardizing organizations and terminology textbooks take a prescriptive approach to term formation and use in which they disparage variation. However, we believe that variation is not due to arbitrariness or carelessness, but rather that it is well-motivated and useful in expert discourse. We hypothesize that multidimensional classification is one of the determini…

Exploring the Potential of Corpora for Raising Language Awareness in Student Translators
This paper explores the potential of a corpus-based approach for promoting language awareness in student translators. It begins by examining the principal criteria required to produce a good translation, and then explores some of the principal obstacles to language awareness that can be found in the translation classroom: resistance to correction, lack of motivation, and lack of awareness of the distinction between language for general purposes (…
