Using Corpora in Contrastive and Translation Studies 2027 (9th edition)
UCCTS 2027 is the 9th biennial international conference focused on the theoretical and practical use of corpora in contrastive and translation/interpreting studies. It brings together scholars to exchange research on corpus-based methods, computational tools, and interdisciplinary approaches, including the application of Large Language Models, with the goal of advancing both fields through empirical and methodological innovation.

Contribution paths
A strong submission should clearly identify its contribution and evaluate it appropriately.
Research areas in scope
01
Corpus-Based Methods and Analysis
Quantitative approaches in corpus-based contrastive and translation/interpreting studies, in particular with multi-methodological designs (corpus-based, corpus-driven, experimental) and advanced statistical modelingComputational methods derived from NLP and data mining (e.g. computational semantics, pragmatics) applied to contrastive linguistics and translation studiesLLMs for contrastive linguistics and translation research (data annotation, data analysis, etc.)Method and data triangulation: combined use of corpus data and methods and other sources of dataLinguistic variation of various types, e.g. variation driven by register or genre variation, learner language, target audience, mode of production, etc.Analysis of non-canonical forms of (multilingual) communicationCorpus analysis of translation between close languages, from a third language, non-native translation, indirect/relay translation, etc.Analysis of accessible communication (e.g. intralingual translation, audio-visual and audio-descriptive forms, etc.)Corpora and linguistic resources for low resource languages
02
Applications and Theoretical Frameworks
New or remodeled theoretical frameworks relevant to corpus-based contrastive and translation/interpreting studiesCognitive approaches to translation (and other language product) propertiesCorpus use in translator training, foreign language learning/teachingCorpus use in multilingual (e-)lexicography and terminologyQuality assessment in (automatic) translation and interpretingPresentation of new resources for contrastive and translation studies (spoken and multimodal corpora, sign language (interpreting) corpora, transcript datasets, corpora of low-resourced languages, lexicons, databases, etc.)
