Our research
Our research specialisms include:
- The collection, enrichment and analysis of monolingual and multilingual corpora (how to collect texts and explore the contents of multilingual text collections)
- Computer-assisted translation and machine translation (how to use computers in human translation)
- Multilingual, multimodal analysis (how to analyse audiovisual material, such as film, and graphic documents in multilingual contexts)
- Literary translation (how to explore the translation choices and process for fiction or poetry)
- Quality standards in translation
- The use of eye-tracking in research on translation, subtitling and language learning
- Translation and ideology (how to analyse ideological choices using models of discourse analysis)
We also have a very active research postgraduate community and nurture a longstanding tradition of developing research in collaboration with academic and industrial partners to fill gaps in knowledge or to find solutions to problems faced by practising translators, subtitlers and interpreters.
