Translation Tribulations: Heads in the Cloud? Or somewhere else?As noted in my last post, concerns are growing over the trend toward "Cloud-based" translation management solutions and the potential negative impact on interoperability between TEnT systems with the wrong approach. As Jost Zetsche noted, there is a need to push solution providers such as SDL, Kilgray, Atril, Wordfast et alia to develop working, open interfaces so various clients can be used with a given server solution in online projects.

Early English Dictionaries: Johnson and WebsterJohnson’s Dictionary is the first great landmark in English lexicography. It supplied greatly improved etymologies, and, though it did not provide pronunciations, it was the first English dictionary to indicate the place of accent for the word entered. It was probably the most influential force in fixing English spelling, which at that time still exhibited much confusing variety....

Corpora and Language Education : Lynne Flowerdew : Palgrave MacmillanCorpora and Language Education provides a comprehensive overview of the field and includes a discussion of the historical and conceptual background of corpus linguistics. The five main approaches to corpus linguistics are critically reviewed. Quotations, definitions and key concepts are included in the main text to highlight important issues and competing voices. The author illustrates how corpus linguistics has been applied in various research fields, e.g. business and health care contexts, forensic linguistics, literary stylistics, translation studies, second language acquisition, lexicography and testing. The application of corpus linguistics techniques to pedagogy is also discussed. Ten exemplary case studies illustrating 'best practices' research are outlined and commented on. The volume also provides a comprehensive list of key print and online resources.

Perfil.com | Edición Impresa | Poema y dandismoEl Diccionario de autores latinoamericanos de César Aira es uno de los libros clave en la crítica literaria contemporánea. Somos muchos los que descubrimos autores que no conocíamos, o cambiamos la idea que teníamos de otros que sí habíamos leído, gracias al Diccionario. Escrito con la dosis exacta de erudición y arbitrariedad, de conocimiento y malicia, vuelvo a él continuamente, sin razón previa, sin la necesidad de estar “trabajando” tal o cual tema (no me verán jamás escribir o decir que “estoy trabajando” cuando me refiero al pensamiento o la literatura). Recuerdo ahora un comentario resignado de Aira, arriesgando que, pese a haber centenares de entradas y escritores mencionados, seguramente se iría a reparar en el autor olvidado, en el que falta, en el que no se cita. No seré yo, entonces, quien cumpla esa profecía diez años después de su publicación (ahora que lo pienso, quizás lo más “revolucionario” que haya pasado en Argentina en 2001 fue la publicación del Diccionario…) más allá, por cierto, de que fue escrito a mediados de los 80, y que una clandestina versión fotocopiada circulaba por aquí y por allá en ese entonces.

From a window of words: Books and book reading in Iran - Tehran TimesI can say about 45 percent of the annually published books are in translation. Most of them are used as academic textbooks. Other genres in translation include general psychology, general management, and novels and at a smaller print run, poetry books. There are also books published in very scholarly and professional fields for very specific groups of readers. Books on philosophy and social sciences, concepts of which are imported and originally produced outside of Iran, are also published in translation.
