The Spanish Association of Corpus Linguistics (AELINCO) and the Bergamo organizing committee of this annual conference edition are pleased to invite you to the 13th International Conference of Corpora Linguistics (CILC2022), which will take place from 26 to 28 May 2022 at the Department of Foreign Languages, Literatures and Cultures of the University of Bergamo, Italy.
The two cornerstones of the conference will be the analysis of specialized discourse from a Corpus Assisted discourse analytical perspective and a Translation Studies approach. In consideration of the various facets of specialized communication, the theme proposed will focus on the metadiscursive mechanisms and persuasive, ideological or evaluative models that guide the textual production of multiple communities of practice (in terms of building group or gender identity, inclusion or rejection of otherness, etc.), despite the alleged objectivity and lack of emotionality of specialized communication.
These aspects also include the applications of Corpus Linguistics parameters aimed at investigating and clarifying the translation process and the teaching of specialized translation through parallel and / or comparable specialized corpora, in order to define a theoretical-methodological framework for translatological research and to shed light on the possible role(s) played by translation in current social changes.
