UCCTS is a biennial international conference which was launched by Richard Xiao in 2008 to provide an international forum for the exploration of theoretical and practical issues pertaining to the creation and use of corpora in contrastive and translation/interpreting studies.
Corpus use in contrastive linguistics and translation studies is nowadays well-established, also thanks to this Conference series, which throughout the years has provided a forum for advances in methodology, theory, analysis and applications of corpus-based contrastive and translation studies.
UCCTS 2021 will bring together researchers who collect, annotate, analyze and use corpora to inform contrastive linguistics and translation studies, alone or in combination with other data sources and methods, to shed light on the complex nature of language use in a linguistically diverse world.
