Using Corpora in Contrastive and Translation Studies (8th edition)

The Institute of Translation Studies and Specialised Communication is organising the eighth edition of the Using Corpora in Contrastive and Translation Studies conference series in 2025.

UCCTS conference is a biennial international conference which was launched by Richard Xiao in 2008 to provide an international forum for the exploration of the theoretical and practical issues pertaining to the creation and use of corpora in contrastive and translation/interpreting studies.

Since 2008 UCCTS conference series that took place, among other, in Louvain-la-Neuve (2018), Bertinoro (2021) and Poznań (2023) has played a key role in advancing contrastive and translation studies by giving scholars of the sister disciplines the opportunity to meet and engage in discussions on research outcomes and ideas on how to effectively apply, enhance and further develop corpus methods to move both fields forward. A selection of papers presented at UCCTS appeared in special issues of journals important in both fields or edited volumes published, for example, by Routledge or Bloomsbury.

The eighth edition of the UCCTS conference will be held on 8-10th September 2025 in Hildesheim, Germany.

The conference is planned to be an on-site event. However, we will try to also organise virtual presentation options.

Please note that the UCCTS conference in Hildesheim will be followed by KONVENS, which is the annual conference series on computational linguistics organised under the auspices of the German Society for Computational Linguistics and Language Technology. The conference will take place on 10-12the September in Hldesheim too.
