    Isolating Terminology Layers in Complex Linguistic Environments: a Study About Waste Management (Short Paper)

    No full text
    Automatic term extraction aims at extracting terminological units from specialized corpora in order to assist terminolographers to develop lexicographic resources. In this paper, we introduce Domain Concept Relatedness, a novel term extraction technique meant to isolate the terminology of a given subject field. In order to evaluate our technique, we apply it to the extraction of waste management terms from a new Italian corpus about waste management legislation. We test it against Sketch Engine and the contrastive approach showing that our technique effectively extracts multi-word terms belonging to a given subject field but still fails to extract single-word terms

    Interpreting and Mediation: raising awareness by training

    No full text
    Starting from teaching conference interpreting in the nineties, the author moved to teaching dialogue interpreting (DI) at the beginning of the new millennium. This paper reflects on the continuities between teaching in DI and mediation, describing the organisation of the Spanish-Italian interpreting modules at the University of Genoa, and of training courses for mediators outside the university context. It also discusses the hybrid nature of Dialogue Interpreting and translation in a specific education experience, and the potential development of a teaching programme combining translation, interpreting, and mediation. This paper is not meant to draw conclusions, but to inspire reflections which can pave the way to future experiments and the creation of teaching material
