This 3-day workshop provides an intensive introduction to the
use of corpora in the field of translation studies, focussing on the
exploitation of monolingual and parallel (translation) corpora. In

techniques to translation studies, participants will learn about the
compilation, alignment, and investigation of parallel corpora in
translation studies and will have the opportunity for hands-on practice
using MonoConc, ParaConc, Multiconcord, Lookup and Vanilla Aligner. The
format of the workshop will be a mix of lectures and practice sessions.

Presenters: Michael Barlow, Dorothy Kenny and Pernilla Danielsson.
