From the 8th to 10th of September, one member of our research group participated in the 8th edition of Using Corpora in Contrastive and Translation Studies at the University of Hildesheim, Germany. The conference aimed to bring together researchers and scholars working with corpus-based approaches in language and translation research.
On the 9th of September, Xinyuan Liu delivered a poster presentation that focused on data triangulation, titled “Do data collection methods impact translation quality? An investigation of Chinese-English translation in varying translator-computer interaction modes”. She and her co-author, Sandra Halverson, investigated whether translation product data collected in laboratory and naturalistic settings demonstrated consistent translation quality and whether the effects of the independent variables were the same across different data collection environments.
