 |
| The American Translation and Interpreting Studies Association (ATISA) invites you to attend the fourth ATISA Conference, “Meeting at the Border: Profile of the Language Mediator.” The conference will be held at the University of Texas at El Paso April 3-5, 2008.
ATISA encourages, supports, and furthers the study of translation and interpreting studies by disseminating knowledge and research relevant to all areas of language mediation, specifically translation and interpreting, regardless of discipline. "Translation and interpreting studies" here means the study of all forms of communication between languages, including translation, interpreting, localization, bilingual text revision, cross-cultural communication, and the various specializations, tools, and technologies involved in such activities. Presentations focusing on the act of communicating between human languages from a wide range of disciplines and methodologies, including translation studies, interpretation studies, applied linguistics, cognitive science, cultural studies, ethnology, sociology, anthropology, education, and other social sciences are welcomed. Presentations must follow the standards of scholarship of their respective disciplines, and they must show the connection of their work to translation and interpreting studies.
ATISA IV will be held in the world's largest binational, bicultural, and bilingual metropolitan areas, El Paso-Cd. Juárez. It is an ideal location for the dissemination of information on intercultural communication. You will have the opportunity to network with translation and interpreting scholars and educators from the Borderlands, Texas, and from across the nation and world.
The ATISA 2008 4th Biannual Conference has been approved for 10 continuing education points (category A) by the American Translators Association: http://www.atanet.org/
