Content
The seminar deals with corpus-based translation studies via lectures, reading of scientific articles, presentations and discussions.
Teaching methods
Seminar: reading list, classroom discussions, oral presentations
Evaluation methods
During the term and in June:
1. oral presentation dealing with a state-of-the-art review of a selected topic in corpus-based translation studies (20% of the final grade)
2. extended term paper on this topic, containing original research, to be handed in at the start of the June exam session at the latest (70% of the final grade)
Oral defence of the paper in June (10% of the final grade)
For resits in September: extended term paper (80%) and oral defence (20%)
Guidelines re. the use of AI to write the term paper:
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) must be used responsibly and in accordance with academic and scientific integrity practices. If use is made of generative AI, students are required to systematically indicate the sections where AI has been used, for example through the use of footnotes, and specify for which purpose(s) AI has been used (for information retrieval, text editing, reformulation, etc.). Students remain responsible for the content of their work.
