**Second Workshop on Modelling Translation: Translatology in the Digital Age** ** CFP deadline extension MoTra-2023 ** Paper submissions: 20 March 2023 --> 27 March 2023 Submissions page: https://openreview.net/group?id=NoDaLiDa/2023/Workshop/MoTra Website: https://sfb1102.uni-saarland.de/news/motra23-workshop-call-for-papers/ Workshop Day: May 22, 2023 Location: Tórshavn, Faroe Islands (hybrid format) **Topic and Goals of the Workshop** MoTra-2023 aims to promote interdisciplinary and computational approaches to human translation, offering an opportunity for researchers in empirical translation studies, computational and corpus linguistics, NLP, cognitive science to exchange knowledge and methodological expertise in modelling various aspects of translation. Along with traditional research questions related to translationese, variation in translation, translation quality assessment, we encourage submissions on interpreting studies, multimodal translation, modelling translational strategies from cognitive, semantic and pragmatic perspectives as well as contributions presenting language resources for translation studies and translation-related software. We are particularly interested in forging a link between translation studies and machine translation and invite research at the interface of these fields. This event seeks to follow up on the investigations reported by the previous edition of the workshop. The proceedings of MoTra-2021 covered a wide range of topics in translatology enhancing the understanding of *translationese*, i.e linguistic specificity of translations setting them apart from non-translations in the target language and exploring *variation in human translation*, including in contrast with machine translation (https://aclanthology.org/volumes/2021.motra-1/). The contributions described computational and NLP methods to model translation varieties (student/professional, human/machine, written/spoken) and translation processes/solutions, especially around particular items (translation problem triggers, discourse markers, adjectives, polarity items), and reported the results of manual linguistic analysis of modelling outcomes. **The workshop invites submissions on relevant research topics, including but not limited to:** - Translation and translationese detection, source language identification and quantitative analysis of translations - NLP approaches to translationese - Analysis and interpretation of variation in translation according to context (domain, register, genre), mode and medium (spoken, written, audio-visual), translator (professional, novice, crowd-sourced), recipient (simplified language) etc. - Intrinsic and extrinsic evaluation of translation models - Research at the interface between translation studies and machine translation - Contextualized and multimodal translation analysis - Computational semantics and pragmatics applied to translation studies - Sentiment and emotion analysis of translations - Human translation quality assessment and annotation - Computational models of translation types such as communicative translation, semantic translation, transcreation, intralingual translation, etc. - New corpora for translation studies, such as literary translation corpora, interpreting transcript datasets, learner translator corpora, etc. - Translation, post-editing, (error) annotation software - Cognitive modelling of translation processes, including cognitive load measurements and communication optimisation in translation **Invited Speakers** Maarit Koponen (University of Eastern Finland) **Program Committee** Silvia Bernardini (University of Bologna) Mario Bisiada (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) Yuri Bizzoni (Aarhus University) Lynne Bowker (University of Ottawa) Michael Carl (Kent State University) Oliver Czulo (Leipzig University) Cristina España i Bonet (DFKI GmbH) Alex Fraser (LMU Munich) Alina Karakanta (University of Trento) Stella Neumann (RWTH Aachen University) Antoni Oliver (Open University of Catanlunya) Maja Popovic (ADAPT Centre, DCU) Moritz Schaeffer (University of Mainz) Tatiana Serbina (RWTH Aachen University) Serge Sharoff (University of Leeds) Antonio Toral (University of Gröningen) **Organizers’ Contacts** Maria Kunilovskaya (maria.kunilovskaya(a)uni-saarland.de) Ekaterina Lapshinova-Koltunski (lapshinovakoltun(a)uni-hildesheim.de) Elke Teich (e.teich(a)mx.uni-saarland.de) **Important Dates** - Monday, March 20, 2023 -> Monday, March 27, 2023: Workshop paper submission deadline - Monday, April 17, 2023 -> Wednesday, April 19, 2023: Notification of acceptance - Monday, May 1, 2023: Camera-ready workshop papers due - Monday, May 22, 2023: The workshop day **Paper Submission** We invite submissions of three kinds: - long papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research, including empirical evaluation of results, up to 8 pages without references; - short papers on smaller, focused contributions, negative results, surveys, or opinion pieces, up to 4 pages without references; and - demonstration papers on software, systems, interfaces, infrastructures, language resources, data collections, or annotations, up to 4 pages without references. Papers accepted for presentation at the conference will appear in the NoDaLiDa 2023 proceedings, published as part of the NEALT Proceedings Series and in the ACL Anthology. Accepted papers will appear on the workshop website (https://sfb1102.uni-saarland.de/news/motra23-workshop-call-for-papers/), too. All submissions should be anonymous and should follow the official Nodalida 2023 LaTeX template (see https://www.nodalida2023.fo/call-for-papers/). The ACL author guidelines and anonymity rules apply. Papers that have been or will be submitted to other venues must indicate this at submission time, and must be withdrawn from the other venues if accepted to NoDALiDa 2023. At least one author of each accepted paper must register to attend the workshop. The submissions are planned through OpenReview.

Long papers describe original research and may consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, plus unlimited pages for references. Final versions of long papers will be given one additional page of content (up to 9 pages) so that reviewers' comments can be taken into account. Short papers describe original focused research and may consist of up to four (4) pages, plus unlimited pages for references. Upon acceptance, short papers will be given five (5) content pages in the proceedings. Authors are encouraged to use this additional page to address reviewers comments in their final versions. Submissions should follow the ACL 2023 formatting requirements<https://2023.aclweb.org/calls/style_and_formatting/>. ACL Rolling Review (ARR) submissions can be committed to *SEM up to April 16th (OpenReview link to commit TBA), but new submissions need to be submitted through softconf by the March 18 deadline and will be reviewed by the *SEM-2023 program committee. Limitations and Ethics Statement sections after the conclusion (not counting towards the overall page limit) are allowed and encouraged, but they are not mandatory. In *SEM there is no special policy against multiple submissions, but this should be indicated at submission time. Submission link: https://softconf.com/acl2023/StarSEM2023 Organisers General Chair: Mohammad Taher Pilehvar, Tehran Institute for Advanced Studies Program Chairs: Jose Camacho-Collados, Cardiff University Alexis Palmer, University of Colorado Boulder Anonymity period To protect the integrity of double-blind review and ensure that submissions are reviewed fairly, we adopt the rules and guidelines for ACL conferences. The following rules and guidelines make reference to the anonymity period, which runs from 1 month before the submission deadline (starting February 18, 2023 11:59PM UTC-12:00) up to the date when your paper is either accepted, rejected (May 12, 2023), or withdrawn. * You may not make a non-anonymized version of your paper available online to the general community (for example, via a preprint server) during the anonymity period. By a version of a paper we understand another paper having essentially the same scientific content but possibly differing in minor details (including title and structure) and/or in length (e.g., an abstract is a version of the paper that it summarizes). * If you have posted a non-anonymized version of your paper online before the start of the anonymity period, you may submit an anonymized version to the conference. The submitted version must not refer to the non-anonymized version, and you must inform the program chair(s) that a non-anonymized version exists. * You may not update the non-anonymized version during the anonymity period, and we ask you not to advertise it on social media or take other actions that would further compromise double-blind reviewing during the anonymity period. * Note that, while you are not prohibited from making a non-anonymous version available online before the start of the anonymity period, this does make double-blind reviewing more difficult to maintain, and we therefore encourage you to wait until the end of the anonymity period if possible. Alternatively, you may consider submitting your work to the Computational Linguistics journal, which does not require anonymization and has a track for “short” (i.e., conference-length) papers.
