First International Congress on Translation, Interpreting, and Cognition

 

On September 1-2, the city of Mendoza welcomed experts from the word over at the The First International Congress on Translation, Interpreting, and Cognition. Hosted by Aconcagua Univresity, the National University of Cuyo, and the LPEN-INCYT, the event brought together over 200 attendees, 40 presenters, and keynote speakers from Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Germany, and China.

 

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, Dr. Adolfo García stated that “We are very satisfied with the outcome. In addition to its immediate impact for the development of the field in the region, this activity represents the first installment of a series of international congresses to be held around the world every two years. The next one will take place in Germany in 2019. Also, the finest contributions to this congress will be published in a special issue that I will guest edit with Mónica Giozza in Perspectives (a Taylor & Francis journal), under the tile “’Cognitive Aspects of Translation and Interpreting across Disciplines’”.
