3-year European-funded project including universities and professionals: October 2004-September 2007

AimsAdapting the vocational training of translatorsand language professionals to the new needsof the market by: Devising a methodology for the collaborative

creation of corpus-based e-learning teaching content in translation, language resource management and technology.

Designing a European MA that will be recognised by the different partners, thus enabling student and professional mobility within the European Community


Learner Translator Corpus 400-word samples of legal, technical,

administrative, and journalistic texts (copyright-free)

Consists of: Source texts and their translations Student translations; professional translations

(reference) Meta-data (L1, L2, education, etc.)

Source languages: ca, de, en, es, fr, it (fi, da, nl, pt)

Directionality: towards mother tongue Online translation collection


Error typology Objective: Used for identifying and classifying

errors, not for quality evaluation encoding Three types of errors

Content transfer Language User-defined

Twice revised after annotation tests Localised into FR, DE, ES, CA The corpus was intended to contribute to the

formative process of training, rather than playing any role in assessment


If the examination is carried out by another doctor, the medical examination report (Annexes 3 and 4) and test results must be forwarded to the organisation's medical officers as soon as possible.

Si la revisión la realiza otro [doctor]la-tl-it , el informe médico ( Anexos 3 y 4 ) y los resultados [de las pruebas]tr-om tendrán que ser enviados a los médicos asesores de la organización tan pronto como sea posible .

. [Si es otro médico quien realizará la]la-sy revisión , deberá tramitar , lo más pronto posible , [el historial médico]la-tl-fc y los resultados de las pruebas [a l encargado]la-tl-in de la institución médica .

Grenoble III 2-year project From theoretical to applied researchcombining several research directions: - corpus

linguistics, LSPs, phraseology, scientific writing, lexical databases, translation theory, didactics, discourse analysis, and semantics –

=> bridge the gap between fundamental empirical research, and applied research


ESIDIS-ARTES:AIMSMulti-disciplinary discourse analysis : A study

of invariants and variations across scientific domains with a purpose of designing a scientific writing tool:

describing, through a phraseological analysis of invariants and variations across scientific domains, the semantic and discourse functions at work in scientific writing.

Analysis of the current evolution of scientific discourse

Development of a writing-aid for scientific writing = answer to evolving needs.


ESIDIS-ARTES: Objectivescompiling a comparable FR/EN reference corpus in sciencesinvestigating scientific cross-disciplinary phraseology through a

corpus-based study; identifying discourse-semantics functions shared by various

scientific disciplines;ontology of sciences => epistemological reflexion on the

conceptual organization of the cross-scientific knowledge;disciplinary variations of identified functions;discourse and phraseological analysis of the interaction

between French and Englishdatabase =>tool of Assistance with the Drafting of Scientific

Texts;teaching applications : comprehension and the acquisition of

the scientific knowledge;general epistemological reflection on the criteria of

“scientificity”
