The theme of the conference will be Interaction and Discourse.

Is it the end of translation? Should we bid farewell to universality? Our era is not only one of artificial intelligence (AI); it is also marked by the fragmentation of societies, political entities, professions (particularly translation) and audiences. Translation and translation training are at the heart of these developments, which affect professionals, teachers, students, and translation audiences alike. We propose to examine how a narrower focus on a specific audience can lead to different

Le toponyme, qui sert à désigner un lieu, un territoire, relève de différentes dimensions et intéresse plusieurs disciplines.

La dimension synchronique qui privilégie l’étude de la motivation, de la remotivation (Akin 1999), de la réception et les usages du nom de lieu mobilise la sociolinguistique, la sociopragmatique,

We are a group of interdisciplinary scholars, located in Oxford, the United Kingdom (Oxford Brookes University & the University of Oxford), and we are running a cross-cultural project on the psychology of "awe". However, it struck us that "awe" does not appear readily translatable into other languages, and that more information is needed about the translation and the cross-cultural psychological construct of "awe" across the world. Therefore, we have now set up a survey through which we h
