Towards a paradigm shift in interpreter education of the AI era: Going beyond training of interpreting skills
Wednesday 7 June 2023, 14:30
Venue: E21-1053
All are Welcome
Abstract:
Recent development of AI-powered technologies relevant to interpreting has triggered the debate over whether human interpreters will be replaced by the machine. This talk discusses two core questions facing the interpreting profession and interpreter education in the AI era: 1) Which components of human interpreting can(not) be done by the machine? 2) What changes need to be made for interpreter education to adapt to the new development in technology and in the profession?

Bio: Professor Jing Chen is currently Dean of College of Foreign Languages and Cultures, Xiamen University, China. Her research interests include interpreting quality assessment and interpreting pedagogy. She has published widely in peer-reviewed journals in English and Chinese. She led and completed several large-scale research projects funded by the European Union (i.e., Asia Link – the EU-Asia Interpreting Studies) and the China National Social Sciences Foundation (NSSF). Currently, she is Principle Investigator of a major national-level research project funded by NSSF (2018-2022). She is also serving as Deputy Director in the National Interpreting Committee of Translators Association of China.
Towards an Integrated Approach to Interpreter Training
To perform an interpreter’s function requires a systematic collection of knowledge, skills and personal characteristics working in concert, especially in the era of AI. The training of interpreters is a complex endeavour in which elements related to the process and product of the interpreted communication, and the knowledge and skills required of a professional interpreter should be integrated in pedagogical considerations. In the presentation the speaker proposes that process-oriented and product-oriented pedagogies interact to enable trainees to understand how sub-components of interpreting competence relate to one another in the dynamic interpreting process, and to follow a structured and monitored sequence of learning steps leading to the acquisition of interpreting competence. It is also believed only when professional practice is integrated into course activities can trainers be well informed in their facilitation of learning and students encouraged to work towards professional standards.

Ailing Zhang 張愛玲（上海外國語大學Shanghai International Studies University）
Bio: Irene A. Zhang is Professor of Translation and Interpreting Studies and Dean of the Graduate Institute of Interpretation and Translation (GIIT), Shanghai International Studies University (SISU). A conference interpreter by training, Prof. Zhang has been active in interpreter training and research. She is also General Editor of Routledge Studies in East Asian Interpreting and General Editor of the Journal of Translation Studies published by Peter Lang.
Relay and retour: The teaching of interpreting into B
Relay interpreting is frequently required at multilingual and multilateral events, often using English or another regional lingua franca as pivot language(s). With the advent of AI, claims have arisen for direct SI without relying on pivot languages. In this study, I argue that SI with relay cannot be fully replaced by AI and shall remain at the heart of IO conferences and other events involving less commonly taught languages, not least because of the absence of a truly powerful training database for this universal AI framework. But instead, interpreters might be embracing a new paradigm of using AI for assistance with professional work. I explore the implications thereof for educating and training future interpreters and discuss possibilities of this new AI-assisted SI paradigm.

Jackie Yan Xiu 鄢秀（香港城市大學City University of Hong Kong）
Bio: Jackie Xiu Yan received her PhD from the University of Texas at Austin, USA.

Learner difficulties and coping strategies: An investigation of audio description training in an English-Chinese interpreting program in Hong Kong
Audio description (AD) provides an assistive service that helps people who are visually impaired to access audio-visual products (theatre performance, movies and TV programmes). With this service, the life of people who are visually impaired is enriched and they are more likely to feel that they are part of society. Audio description training (ADT) has attracted increasing attention from researchers. Existing studies on ADT are usually based on the trainers’ teaching experience and teacher-centered methodological issues. Only until recently have learner perspectives been explored. The project intends to examine students’ perceived difficulties and coping strategies in AD learning and how AD learning is related to learning interpreting. The participants are translation students enrolled in an interpreting program in Hong Kong. By conducting a three-level grounded theory analysis on the students’ written reflections on their AD learning, this study will take a learner-centered approach in studying ADT, providing empirical support for previous findings on ADT and suggest a possible direction for AD trainers to pursue in addressing learners’ needs in their future training activities.

Victoria Lei 李麗青（澳門大學Univerisity of Macau）
Bio: Victoria Lei, Associate Professor, member of the Centre for Studies of Translation, Interpreting and Cognition at the University of Macau and Council Member of International Federation of Translators, is a literary historian, translator and conference interpreter. She obtained her PhD in English Literature from the University of Glasgow, UK and is a life member of Clare Hall, University of Cambridge. An active conference interpreter for two decades, her interpreting practice and teaching have led her to focus her research on cognition and interpreting in recent years, and it is her quest to bridge the gap between empirical research, interpreting practice and the classroom. She explores innovative approaches to translation and interpreting process research using technologies including corpus, eye tracking, keylogging and Functional near-infrared spectroscopy. Her current research interest includes brain activation associated with bilingual processing, interaction and coordination of cognitive efforts in simultaneous interpreting, the interaction between professional conference interpreters and their environment.

Wei Su蘇偉（廈門大學Xiamen University）
Bio: Professor Wei Su is head of English Department in Xiamen University, China. His research interests include assessment and feedback in interpreter education. In the past five years he published over 10 research articles in SSCI-indexed journals like Interpreting, The Interpreter and Translator Trainer, Language awareness, Language and Education, International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language teaching.

口譯教育類論文寫作的核心是口譯文獻梳理整合和研究問題的提出。本研究以博士生課程“口譯教育研究”為個案，對比了ChatGPT這一智慧程式的文獻綜述品質和口譯學習者的文獻綜述品質，從“邏輯性”、“原創性”和“批判性”等多個維度分析了人與機器的學術寫作表現，並為未來學術研究的人機協作路徑和風險規避提出具體建議。

Daniel Hu 胡宗文（臺灣師範大學Taiwan Normal University）
Bio: Daniel Hu received a doctoral degree in Classics from the University of California, Santa Barbara, in 2011. He is currently serving as the Chair of the Graduate Institute of Translation and Interpretation at Taiwan Normal University. In addition, he is the Director of the Taiwan Association of Translation and Interpretation. His main interests are in the field of Bible translation and Chinese-English Contrastive Analysis.

The aim of this talk is to give an indication of how, when it comes to translation, CHAT GPT represents a vast improvement over Google Translate. By considering a rather difficult piece of text, the talk will show that CHAT GPT is vastly superior to Google Translate at deciphering the meaning of words and sentences. In the second half of the talk, the results of the first half will be extrapolated to the field of interpretation. It will show that, from the point of view of AI, the difference between translation and interpretation is almost immaterial. Computer Assisted Translation represents a threat to translators and interpreters everywhere.

Chao Han 韓潮（廈門大學Xiamen University）
Bio: Dr. Chao Han is a professor in the College of Foreign Languages and Cultures at Xiamen University, China. He has developed and delivered instructional modules such as English-Chinese Interpreting, Quantitative Research in Translation and Interpreting (T&I), Testing and Assessment in T&I, and Academic Writing.

Exploring automatic assessment of students’ interpreting performance in the age of artificial intelligence
Chao Han and Xiaolei Lu
Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming translation and interpreting (T&I) practice, education, and research. One aspect of such transformation pertains to potential means in which T&I quality is assessed in the educational context. Several studies have recently explored and demonstrated how AI and related technologies (e.g., natural language processing) could be harnessed to assess T&I quality (semi-)automatically. In this article, we aimed to extend previous research effort and report on a pilot study in which we utilized Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) models, a series of large language models (LLMs) created by OpenAI such as ChatGPT, to automatically assess 56 English-Chinese interpretations produced by 28 interpreting students. To validate the GPT-based assessments, we correlated the GPT-generated metrics of interpreting quality with those produced by 15 experienced human raters and further calibrated by many-facet Rasch modeling. Pearson’s correlation coefficients were therefore interpreted as an index of concurrent validity. We then compared the correlation matrix with those previously computed based on machine translation evaluation metrics (e.g., BLEU, NIST, METEOR) and BERT-based quality indicators (see Han & Lu 2023; Lu & Han 2022). This pilot study represents one of the initial efforts to leverage the latest technological advancement to automatically assess human interpretation and may motivate further research and discussion on T&I quality assessment in the age of AI.

The Impact of AI Technology on Interpreter Training
The development of AI is apparently gathering speed and attracting attention of people from different walks of life. While most would see it a welcome sign for technological progress, which brings benefits to the society and its members, the challenges it brings are looming large in the minds of many, not the least teachers and students of languages. There has been growing concerns over issues such as IPR, performance assessment, job security and others. It is useful to know how our students respond to the new technologies now available, which could help us maximize its benefits and to regulate the downside it has on language education.
For that purpose, we are conducting a survey of college students majoring in T&I studies in Mainland China to understand how they are adapting themselves to the technological advancement in their studies and their concern over how this will affect their professional career development as the next generation of interpreters and as language professionals in general.

Artificial intelligence and interpreting: New possibilities for training and professional development
Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have sparked concerns in various fields, including interpreting. As a complex human activity of which the very professionalisation relies heavily on technology, interpreting, like many other professions, has faced new challenges. It is therefore crucial to understand what AI is and the new possibilities it can create for training and professional development in our field. This talk, therefore, will explore how innovations in the era of AI are impacting interpreter training, including virtual simulations, task preparation, and performance assessment. Additionally, I will illustrate how the exploration of “big” interpreting data can empower the next generation of interpreters by providing examples of innovative platforms based on this data. Through this discussion, we aim to shed light on the future prospects and challenges of the field.

Teaching Interpreting Online: Integrating Platforms and Corpus Tools
This paper presents an initial attempt to teach interpreting online, which is now widely adopted by interpreting programs around the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. Various online teaching platforms and corpus tools will be covered in this paper, including Google Drive, Moodle, Zoom, GoReact, ZipDX, InterpretBank, Sketch Engine, WebCorp, and OneClick Terms. Online teaching of interpreting involves a series of modules: pre-class preparation, in-class practice and discussion, post-class self-guided practice by the students, online peer critique, online course platform design, assessment of interpreting homework, exam proctoring and grading, and corpus-assisted knowledge management. These modules are highly customizable and can be used to teach the three major modes of interpreting: Sight Translation (ST), Consecutive Interpreting (CI), and Simultaneous Interpreting (SI). Methods and steps to teach these modes of interpreting in the online environment are described, with online student counseling with the instructor as a way to maximize the benefits of teaching interpreting online.

An Exploration on an AI-assisted Interpreting Competence Model
The great development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, such as speech recognition, sound-text conversion, machine translation, and speech synthesis, has brought many conveniences to interpreting practice, which has thus changed the traditional human interpreting modes. Hence, the components and their weights of the interpreting competence of human interpreters have gained new features. Therefore, it is necessary to make corresponding adjustments in the content of interpreting training, and interpreting training institutions should explore accordingly new thoughts on curriculum design, training focuses, and textbook writing. This article will modify the existing interpreting competence models, construct an AI-assisted interpreting competence model, and further put forward proposals on a series of issues related to interpreting training.
Key words: artificial intelligence; interpreting competence; interpreting training

Interpreting Teaching in Digital Era: Challenges and Solutions
Abstract: Computer assisted interpreting training tools (CAIT), derived in the 1990s from computer assisted language learning tools (CALL), are now routinely used in several educational institutions (Kajzer-Wietrzny and Tymczyńska 2014). The next step forward was moving from the physical classroom to virtual environments and experimenting with on-line teaching and learning (Ko 2008; Ko and Chen 2011; Braun and Slater 2014; Motta 2016). The ‘technological turn’ in interpreting (Fantinuoli 2018) has been discussed a lot in recent years particularly heated since the burst-out of COVID-19. This indicates that technology has entered or is entering the realm of interpreting education and practice. This presentation attempts to discuss the positive and negative impact of technology application in interpreting teaching and practice in digital era and to provide some suggestions in terms of computer assisted interpreting teaching.

認知定勢與漢英論元前置優勢的類型學差異
陳忠 Zhong Chen
中國語言文學系Department of Chinese Language and Literature
漢語背襯優先的認知定勢提升了處所、涉事、材料前置做主語的競爭力，在典型論元缺席的非及物句中，漢語背襯論元藉助於背襯優先的認知定勢扶持，將主語的範圍拓展至處所、涉事等背襯論元，為首尾論元可逆創造了條件。 英語顯體優先的認知定勢壓制背襯論元的前置競爭力，導致英語的處所、涉事材料被壓制於動詞後乃至句尾，縮小了主賓可逆的範圍。
漢英背襯優先認知定勢，造就了漢語的處所、涉事、材料可以做主語的“主題突出”類型學論元分佈特徵; 英語顯體優先認知定勢，造就了“主語突出”的類型學論元分佈特徵，並導致首尾論元可逆的漢英差異。
關鍵詞： 認知定勢; 背襯優先; 顯體優先

山東萊州方言的方位詞和方位後綴lɛ
楊文江Yang Wenjiang
日本研究中心Centre for Japanese Studies
普通話的方位短語有兩種結構：“名詞+方位詞+方位後綴”和“名詞+方位詞”，前者如“教室裏邊/樹下面”，後者如“教室裏/樹下”。萊州方言原則上僅使用前一種，但有一個例外是“名詞+方位詞lɛ”，它在語義上相當於普通話的“名詞+裏”，卻不能後接其他方位後綴。lɛ的另外一個用法是方位後綴，如“教室裏lɛ/樹下lɛ”。我們從lɛ的語音、語義和形態句法特徵推測，方位詞lɛ是“裏”的形態變體，而方位後綴lɛ是方位詞lɛ進一步語法化的結果。

陶淵明的異域知音——以晚近歐美和日本的陶淵明研究為中心
張月 & 姚燕 (PhD)
中國語言文學系Department of Chinese Language and Literature
本文綜述與分析2000年以來在海外出版的、用英語、日語發表的陶淵明研究代表性專著或論文，並在此基礎上抛磚引玉，分析未來陶淵明研究的新方向。近二十年以來，陶淵明研究蔚為壯觀，吸引了海外很多學者前赴後繼、孜孜鑽研。陶淵明研究的早期準備工作較為充足，加之陶淵明在中國文學和文化史上的獨特地位，以及海外（尤其是美國）近期湧現的幾位用力甚勤的學者，這些因素共同促成了陶淵明研究的“盛世”。目前一些學者追溯並探討了海外陶淵明研究的發展史。本文在時間上拓展了當前海外陶淵明研究的考察範疇，側重2000年以來最新的研究成果（包括專著和長篇論文）。這些成果代表了陶淵明研究的最新發展方向。最後，本文根據目前的研究成果，展望未來陶淵明研究新的增長點和領域。

The Multiple Meanings of the Chinese Particle ‘de/的’ and the Legitimacy of Chinese Philosophy
漢語助詞“的”之多重含義與中國哲學的合法性
Wang Qingjie
Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies
The essay argues for a new understanding of “Chinese Philosophy” as a “Philosophy from China.” I shall start first with an analysis of the different meanings of the popular Chinese particle “of 的” in the modern Chinese language both linguistically and philosophically. Secondly, a new understanding of “Chinese philosophy” as a “philosophy from China” will be introduced. I will distinguish it from the three previous philosophical understandings of the “Chinese philosophy,” i.e., 1) as “China’s philosophy 中國的哲學,” 2) as “philosophy in China 哲學在中國,” and 3) as “China-grounded philosophy 中國底哲學,” etc. Many modern Chinese philosophers like Jin Yuelin 金岳霖（‪1895–1984）, Feng Youlan馮友蘭 (‪1895–1990）, and Mou Zongsan牟宗三 (‪1909–1995) discussed these ideas before. Third, I shall conclude by saying that “Chinese philosophy” is neither a metaphysically a priori nor a teleological conception. Rather, it belongs to a historical-genealogical “Bildung” of “philosophizing” that was and will continue to be future-oriented, open, and always renewing.

The effects and discourse of online Mindfulness Intervention among Research Postgraduate Students
Katherine Chen
English Language Centre
Research postgraduate (RPg) students face significant stress while pursuing their degrees. We conducted a study to investigate the effectiveness of an online eight-week mindfulness-based intervention in enhancing wellbeing among RPg students, using a randomized waitlist-controlled design. We also aimed to explore the discourse of mindfulness in this intervention setting.
We recruited 88 participants who are RPgs from the University of Macau and the University of Hong Kong, and assessed trait mindfulness, emotional states, resilience, and mental wellbeing at baseline, post-intervention, and 8-week follow-up. Qualitative data, such as homework reflections, audio transcripts, and chat box inputs, were collected to examine possible discoursal patterns of change. The intervention program was adapted from “Mindfulness: a Practical Guide to Finding Peace in a Frantic World” (Williams & Penman, 2011).
We found a significant correlation between trait mindfulness, wellbeing, and emotional states among RPg students. The discourse data provides qualitative depth on participants’ mindful processing of thoughts and emotions at times of stress.
Our study provides preliminary evidence supporting the effectiveness of an online mindfulness program in enhancing the wellbeing of RPg students. The discourse analysis sheds light on potential mechanisms underlying the program’s effectiveness.

Information-based Academic Writing Assessment
Cecilia Zhao
Department of English
As a response to the observed lack of theoretical support and generalizability of results in our current writing assessment practices, this paper proposes an alternative writing assessment design that reflects more faithfully theoretical conceptions of writing and authentic writing practices in the current information age. It starts with a brief review of existing writing theories and presents a three-dimensional model of “Information-based Academic Writing” (IBAW), which foregrounds information literacy as an integral part of the writing process and extends our current understanding and conception of the construct of writing (Yu & Zhao, 2021). The model illustrates how writing tasks situated in specific rhetorical, disciplinary, and information contexts activate one’s knowledge base and generate information needs, which then guides the iterative information behaviors and writing processes, as regulated by one’s affective and metacognitive strategies, to generate new knowledge and new information. Based on such a model, a conceptual framework for designing and developing a process-oriented information-based academic writing assessment is presented to show how updated writing theories may help inform and guide more authentic and meaningful assessment design. The paper ends with a discussion of the value and practical implications of such an assessment design, together with potential challenges for the developers and users of this alternative assessment approach.

Framing slogans for responsible gaming campaigns by conceptual metaphors and the prospect of gains/losses: cases of the U.S., Singapore, and Macau
Vincent Wang
Department of English
This study examines the mechanism of persuasion by slogans for anti-problematic gambling campaigns. We look at slogans in the official posters used by authorities in three places – the U.S., Singapore, and Macau – and, in particular, analyse the use of conceptual metaphors and the frame of gaining or losing. The results are discussed in an attempt to better understand the framing devices at work in the social contexts in which the slogans are used.

Lute, Sword, Snake, and Parasol: Forming of the Standard Iconographies of the Four Heavenly Kings in Chinese Buddhist Art
Zhu Tianshu
Department of History
The Four Heavenly Kings, Sida Tianwang 四大天王, are the guardians of the four quarters of the world in Buddhism. They are among the most frequently represented protective deities in Buddhist art across different traditions. In their standard iconographies developed in China popular during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911), they wear full armor, and each holds exclusive attributes—lute (pipa琵琶), sword, snake, and parasol — from the east, south, west, to the north respectively. There is no direct textual base in the Chinese cannon for such iconographies. Neither can we find prototypes in India or central Asia. Indeed, how did this iconographic group develop in China? In the past, since the standard iconographies of the Four Heavenly Kings are clear, and identification is no problem, comprehensive in-depth study on this is lacking. Actually, those attributes came from a Tantric tradition related to Tibetan Buddhism filtered through the Xi Xia (1036-1227) and Yuan (1206-1368). What revealed in the development of this iconography is the complex relationship among the Tibetan, Tanguts, Mongols, and Chinese Buddhism.

Inter-imperial Cooperation and Struggles around the Global Suppression of Maritime Raiding in the Nineteenth Century
Manuel Barcia
University of Leeds
Department of History
During the middle decades of the nineteenth century, pirate imperialist states were able to come together at times, in order to device strategies to combat amphibious peoples they considered to be pirates. At other times, commercial or colonial interests weighted heavily on their decision-making processes, and led them instead to confront each other. The case of the assassination of Governor Amaral in Macau, in 1849, serves as a propitious platform to explore these instances of collaboration and struggle. That the British would disembark troops in Macau twice in less than three months before and after Amaral’s death, the first time to attack the Portuguese garrison and the second one to support it while they fought the Chinese, reveals how fast and adaptable policies and actions could be taken whenever necessary. In spite of the wide array of differences and disputes existing between pirate imperial powers around the world in the middle decades of the nineteenth century, the suppression of maritime raiding, and maritime communities’ autonomy, was the common theme that brought them, more often than not, together. These suppression activities, however, concealed further agendas, which included the acquisition of commercial advantages, the consolidation of colonies, and the displacement or extermination of aquatic communities standing in the way of western “civilization” and the abolition of slavery and slave trading activities.

Mandarin Chinese as a World Language and the Three Concentric Circle Theory
Jie Xu
Department of Chinese Language and Literature
Mandarin Chinese has been developing to be a new world language. Adopting the Three Concentric Circle Theory that Kachru (1985) proposed for the international spread of English, we argue that the international spread of Mandarin Chinese exhibits almost the very same three concentric circle pattern, from Northern China to Southern China, and from inland to overseas. We argue that the three concentric circle pattern of Mandarin’s spread and various functions of the language in different areas across the world call for an even better designed language planning policy and a better executed language management implementation in terms of standardization criteria, education models and promotion strategies.

The organization of repetition in second language classes
Ricardo Moutinho
Department of Portuguese
This talk explores repetition during L2 instruction as a ‘seen-but-unnoticed’ (i.e., common and taken-for-granted) element produced by students and teachers, who exhibit, recognize and ‘trust’ in this phenomenon (i.e., repetition) as a fundamental part of the organizational architecture of L2 classroom environments. We will explore some video-recorded data gathered in Portuguese language classes for beginner-level university students and discuss how the phenomenon of repetition is produced in that context as an instructionally relevant (and observable) practice. The analysis is divided into two parts. The first one refers to repetition in the third turn of the IRF sequence (Initiation-Response-Feedback). The second part refers to repetition as a resource to display moments of understanding of apprehensible objects, an action that reflexively produces pairs of categories such as [native speaker-non-native speaker] and [teacher-student]. The results point to two directions: 1) the need for empirical data to carry out an investigation on language classroom practices, since the phenomenon observed here is displayed by the participants as their in situ accomplished tasks; 2) the combination of sequential and categorial elements of talk in the production of the organization of repetition, which helps analysts avoid to take as ‘unproblematic’ the categorization work produced by classroom participants.

Is Portuguese a Heavy Language?
João Veloso
Department of Portuguese
Syllable weight (SW) is commonly accepted, at least in certain languages, as one of the phonological determinants of word stress. In languages like Classical Latin, for instance, stress falls on the penultimate if this is heavy, on the antepenultimate if the penultimate is light (all long vowels making syllables heavy, all short vowels making open syllables light):
The most conservative approaches to word-stress in Portuguese tend not to consider SW as relevant for word-stress (indeed, refusing to accept SW as a phonologically relevant parameter in this language). Mateus & Andrade (2000) and Mateus et al. (2033), for instance, describe Portuguese as a weight-insensitive language, relating word stress to morphological properties only.
Alternative views, such as Wetzels’ (2007, 2020) and Carvalho’s (2011), have insisted that SW is absolutely relevant for word-stress assignment in Portuguese. Statistically, most words with a final heavy syllable are oxytones. When the penultimate is heavy, it normally functions as a stress attractor. Finally, proparoxytonic stress is disallowed if the penultimate is heavy. According to these proposals, Portuguese SW is mainly related to rhyme-branching.
In this presentation, we shall develop previous proposals (e.g., Veloso 2019), arguinh in favour of SW as phonologically relevant in Portuguese. Such relevance is twofold:

A) Weight in Portuguese is not only a function of rhyme-branching: some features of the internal structure of segments assign these segments “intrinsic weight”. This seems to be the case of sonority, palatality and other kinds of segment complexity (an overload of phonological specification derived from the association of segmental specification plus an extra autosegment).
B) Weight does not manifest only on stress-assignment: Word Minimality can be explained by SWG, also.

On the basis of a broader discussion of this type of data, we shall highlight the following remarks:
Portuguese must be included in the set of weight-sensitive languages;
Syllable weight, in Portuguese, lies on rhyme-branching and on certain aspects of the structure and behaviour of segments;
Inherent Segment Weight should be accepted in Portuguese;
Syllable Weight, in Portuguese, is relevant for stress-assignment and minimality.

The pivotal role of translators’ research in literary translation: A case study of Jeffrey Kinkley
Minhui Xu
Department of English
Much recent work in the discipline of translation studies has focused on translators, yet the research conducted by translators remains understudied. This study explores translators’ research and its impact on their translations and on translational trust. Taking Jeffrey C. Kinkley–an American translator, historian and sinologist–as a case study, we attempt to investigate Kinkley’s research work, including interviews with the original author, fieldwork to verify objects described in the text, research on historical documentation and previous studies, which resembles the research work of evidential scholarship and ethnographic studies. Kinkley’s research impacts his translations, which are characterised by inclusive text selection, thick translation strategies, literary and cultural fidelity, and knowledge creation. A translator’s research provides a solid foundation not only for accurate and adequate translations and increased visibility but also for dynamic networking among various agents in the translation field, which plays a pivotal role in nurturing translational trust. This investigation into Kinkley’s research work contributes to an in-depth understanding of and objective comments on both translation and translator.
Keywords: translator’s research work; translator’s visibility; translational trust; Jeffrey Kinkley; literary translation

Introduced through poetry translation or not? Recontextualizing avant-garde nature of Chinese new poetry from the perspective of cosmopolitanism
Shuying Liang (PhD)
Department of English
Translation could function as an act of epistemological force of intrusion into the domestic poetic paradigm amid cross-cultural encounter. Chinese New Poetry at the early 20th century featuring Chinese national avant-garde spirit, worked a poetic paradigm shift against classical Chinese poetry, which was in alignment with Chinese Vernacular Movement and the May Fourth New Literature Movement. The inheritance of the traditional Chinese cultural treasure combined with the appropriated forms of foreign poems in creating Chinese New Poetry has contributed to promoting Chinese vernacular language from the periphery to the centre in China’s society then. The paper offers a re-examination of the critical role of the translations of foreign poems in promoting Chinese New Poetry in the early 20th century. It argues that Chinese New Poetry is a hybridized poetic genre with avant-garde spirit encapsulated in the globalization process, challenging the traditional conceptualization of Chinese poetry and reenergizing Chinese poetic prosperity. The intense interactions with the cultural foreignness via the translational activities have helped Chinese New Poetry towards a direction of modernity and openness. By drawing on the cosmopolitanism perspective, the paper relates the dialectic relationship between poetry translation with the genesis of Chinese New Poetry to the wider context of world literature.

Which is more costly in Chinese to English simultaneous interpreting, “pairing” or “transphrasing”? Evidence from an fNIRS neuroimaging study
CSTIC Team (Defeng Li, Victoria Lei, Yuan, Z and Alison Lin)
This study examined the neural mechanism underlying two translation strategies associated with Chinese to English simultaneous interpreting (SI) targeting the left prefrontal cortex (PFC), which is generally involved in the control of interference and conflict resolution and has been identified as the brain area that plays a pivotal role in SI. Brain activation associated with the two strategies including “pairing” and “transphrasing” were compared with that from “nontranslation,” which keeps the source language item unchanged in the target language production and is considered as a tactic that does not require complex cognitive operation associated with bilingual processing effort. Our findings revealed that “pairing” elicited the strongest and almost immediate brain activation in the Broca’s area, and “transphrasing” resulted in the most extensive and strongest activation overall in the left PFC. By contrast, “nontranslation” induced very little brain activation in these regions. This work, which represents one of the first efforts in investigating brain activation related to translation strategies involving different levels of cognitive control, will not only pave a new avenue for better understanding of the cognitive mechanism underlying SI but also provide further insight into the role that the Broca’s region plays in domaingeneral cognitive control.

From “Westernizing” Chinese Philosophy to “Sinicizing” Chinese Philosophy
Ting-mien Lee
Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies
Since the abolishment of imperial examination and the establishment of modern universities, “Chinese philosophy” has embarked on the project of “modernization” to accommodate itself to its new academic home, namely, philosophy department. Initially, scholars “westernized” ancient Chinese thought by reading Western philosophical theses into early Chinese masters’ texts. This strategy led to the controversy of “the legitimacy of Chinese philosophy.” After decades of heated debate, however, the controversy became moot in the new intellectual and political settings. As the ideas of “Sinicization” and “Chinese characteristics” began to gain currency, the intellectual movement of “Sinicizing Chinese philosophy” has emerged. As an on-going movement, its implications concerning the future of the discipline of “Chinese philosophy” remain unclear. However, an examination of this movement may help us gain deeper insights into contemporary Chinese intellectual trends.

‘The vampire hypothesis’: from fingernails to ministering angels – the first Swedish debunker
Damian Shaw & Matthew Gibson
Department of English
We present a translation and analysis of the earliest known Scandinavian response to the Vampire phenomenon of Medvedia in 1732 by Nicolaus Boye, a state-employed physician residing in Stockholm. The translation shows that Boye’s own article, which constitutes a complete refutation of Johann Flückinger’s claims, was meticulously organised, abstracting and arguing against the major themes which he observed in the Visum et Repertum, while the analysis shows that Boye was working under the topical medical theories of the Dutch botanist and physician Herman Boerhaave. The analysis also demonstrates the extent to which Boye’s rationalism in refuting the Visum at Repertum is informed by his Lutheranism and belief in the Day of Judgement, and concludes by showing examples of the impact his work exerted on other academics in the 1730s.

The Politics of Punctuation
Nick Groom
Department of English
This paper explains how the neglected area of punctuation can reveal important connections between politics and literature. I focus on ‘Gothic’ novels, which often combine found documents with the direct and indirect speech of unreliable narrators, as well as including stories-within-stories, fragmentary or illegible writings, rumours, riddles, folklore, and obscure dialect. These texts are also, of course, characterized by the supernatural, whether manifest or implied. In representing these knotty plot twists, Gothic writers often seem self-consciously experimental in their use of punctuation, using, for example, ellipses, asterisks, dashes of various lengths, parentheses, and exclamations.
These insistent punctuation effects are consequently interpreted as reflecting typical Gothic themes of incarceration and claustrophobia, confusion and uncertainty – the tangled sentences winding like labyrinthine passages beneath a crumbling castle or overgrown paths through a dark forest. However, such punctuation already had a substantial pedigree in political satire and the emergent ‘Whig’ (liberal) ideology, as well as in scholarly editing. Political thinking had established this idiosyncratic form of punctuation, and it had very specific associations with English constitutional history, European cultural heritage, and contemporary artistic creativity – and it was these pre-existent punctuation codes that became adopted by later ‘Gothic’ writers to position their work in political and intellectual contexts. In doing so, punctuation helped to define the Gothic.

Speaker: Professor Wen Xu
Topic: The Grammatical and Semantic Features of the “V1OV2 de” Construction in Modern Chinese and Reasons for its Formation
Date: 2 May 2023 (Tue)
Time: 16:30 – 17:45
Venue: On-Site (E21A-G049) / ZOOM
Language: Mandarin (with simultaneous interpretation into English)

Abstract:
The “V1OV2 de” construction is a commonly used colloquial expression in modern standard Chinese and a typical construct. This study explores the grammatical and semantic features and the reasons for its formation from a construct grammar perspective. The research found that “V1OV2的” is a non-typical verb-copying construction, and its meaning of construction can be summarized as “explaining the reason why an event has taken place in a certain situation.” This construction is driven by cognitive economy and formed based on a typical verb-copying construction through operations such as transposition, deletion, and substitution. Linguistic and non-linguistic reasons work jointly to contribute to the production and use of the “V1OV2的” construction.
Keywords: “V1OV2 de” construction; verb-copying construction; syntax; semantics; reasons

FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Class Traitors? The Assault on the Intellectuals’ Power in the Book of Lord Shang and Han Feizi” by Prof. Yuri Pines, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel

Abstract
One of the most notable features of the Warring States-period (Zhanguo 戰國, 453-221 BCE) political discourse is the extraordinary self-confidence of the intellectually active members of the shi 士 (men-of-service) stratum. Having positioned themselves as collective possessors of the Way 道, these shi intellectuals claimed recognition as society’s and the rulers’ moral guides. One of the major ways of asserting their superiority vis-à-vis the rulers was through proliferation of historical (and quasi-historical) narratives that uniformly placed the rulers at the position of recipients of their advisers’ wisdom.
In my study I want to explore the counter-discourse aimed at undermining the intellectuals’ authority. Two texts are most notable in their systematic assault on fellow intellectuals. The Book of Lord Shang (Shangjunshu 商君書) was arguably the earliest major text to turn tables on intellectuals who sought appointment due to their perceived moral superiority; but it was primarily Han Feizi 韓非子, which mercilessly exposed the moralizers’ fallacies and their abuse of history. Yet the authors’ assault on fellow intellectuals created a paradox. Dismissing their rivals’ subversive discourse, the authors undermined not just the rivals’ claims to be the rulers’ guides but also their own intellectual authority vis-à-vis the throne. The gains and losses of this “class betrayal” have interesting implications beyond the Warring States-period China.
