A corpus-based approach to human and machine translation
This article describes an exploratory study focusing on the differences between human translation (HT) and machine translation (MT) of legal texts using multidimensional analysis (MDA; Biber, 1988) as a methodological approach. Drawing on a corpus of HT and MT texts of judgments delivered by the Court of Justice of the European Union, the article explores linguistic variations between HT and MT. Using MDA, two main differentiating dimensions were…
Intercultural Competence in Healthcare
This article analyzes the growing cultural diversity in Spain as a result of immigration, with a specific focus on the impact on the healthcare system. It explores the theoretical frameworks of interculturality, cultural competence, and cultural sensitivity, and evaluates their implementation through regional healthcare protocols. Through a comparative analysis of models such as those by Campinha-Bacote, Purnell, Leininger, and Kleinman, as well …
Machine translation post-editing through emotional narratives
Machine translation (MT) and post-editing (PE) have become increasingly common in translation training ( Guerberof-Arenas and Moorkens 2019 ; Sánchez Ramos 2022 ). However, few studies have explored how trainee translators’ emotional responses to MT and PE impact their motivation to incorporate these tools in their translation practice. Understanding and managing the emotions of students is crucial to integrating MT and PE within translator train…
Volunteer translators in non-governmental organizations
The need for immediate communication in a world characterized by an ever-increasing flow of information has led to a rapid increase in volunteer translation in recent decades. While previous studies have focused on aspects such as volunteer translators’ motivation and the attendant ethical issues of voluntary translation, comparatively little research has explored the phenomenon from a discursive perspective. The research reported in this article…
Documentation in specialised contexts
Existing training programmes in the field of public service interpreting and translation (PSIT) do not to focus on how best to develop students’ lexical competence and corpora-based search skills. This paper reports the design, implementation and evaluation of a novel corpus-based module intended to develop Spanish postgraduate PSIT students’ lexical competence and search strategies. Adopting a mixed-methods quasi-experimental design, we administ…
The Europe of Brexit
Drawing on a what is known as corpus-assisted discourse study (CADS) approach (Baker et al., 2008), this article will research the construction of different identities by means of the language used in two newspaper articles on Brexit from the Spanish El País and the British The Guardian, to examine how these identities are constructed through media discourse at the time following the Brexit referendum (2016-2018). Media discourse surrounding Brex…
A study on language teachers’ preparedness to use technology during Covid-19
Although the Covid-19 pandemic, has affected all aspects of human life, including education worldwide, technology has provided an opportunity for teachers to replace their classroom-based education and face-to-face learning with digital modes of online teaching and learning. With the paradigm shift in education, the present study adopted a descriptive research design that involved the analysis of quantitative data, investigated the preparedness, …
Treating immigrant patients in psychiatric emergency rooms
We examine whether patient variables (geographic origin, gender, Spanish language proficiency) and subjective clinician aspects in emergency department psychiatric encounters (diagnostic certainty, clinician's comfort level with patient) are associated with diagnosis and the use of coercive measures. Using a descriptive cross-sectional design, we recorded 467 visits (400 foreign-born and 67 native-born patients) in hospital psychiatry emergency r…
Study on the Usefulness of Machine Translation in the Migratory Context
The use of machine translation in the field of migrations seems to be very limited and, in view of the latest developments, it is only natural to explore its usefulness in the migratory context. In an attempt to introduce this technology into this particular area, this article reports on a qualitative study on translators’ perceptions towards machine translation and post-editing tasks. The findings of the study indicate that both are not widely d…
