Valediction for Hans J. Vermeer
Valediction for Hans J. Vermeer delivered by Andreas F. Kelletat on the occasion of the urn interment on 20 February 2010 at the Bergfriedhof cemetery, Heidelberg Translated by Marina Dudenhöfer M.A. Dear members of the family, Dear friends and colleagues of Professor Hans Vermeer, It was only five weeks ago, on 17 January 2010, that Michael Schreiber, the Dean of our School of Translation and Interpreting Studies, Linguistics and Cultural Studies (FTSK) in Germersheim, handed over an honorary doctorate from our university to Hans Vermeer for his dedication to the establishment of a discipline in Translation Studies in a small ceremony at his house. The first steps for this award were taken in early 2009 before Hans Vermeer’s illness, and before he even knew he was ill. There was an official ceremony planned for autumn 2010 to coincide with Hans Vermeer’s 80th birthday on 24 September 2010, but it did not take place. Instead of celebrating a joyful birthday and award ceremony amongst students, friends and colleagues, we are gathered in this cemetery today to inter the ashes of the dearly departed. The family of my dear colleague Vermeer asked me to speak to you on this solemn occasion and it is my honour to remember with you today an extraordinary researcher, academic and teacher. Many of you gathered here do not need my help to remember him, as you were part of his life as a researcher and teacher, colleague and friend. Several of you knew him for much longer and were closer to him than I myself. -

Interview with José Lambert
!"#$ INTERVIEW WITH JOSÉ LAMBERT JOSÉ LAMBERT José Lambert is a professor and scholar in Comparative Literature and Translation Studies, and one of the founders of CETRA – Centre for Translation Studies1 % at the University of Leuven, Belgium. Initially, when it was created in 1989, what later became CETRA consisted of a special research program whose purpose was the promotion of high-level research in in Translation Studies, a perennial goal still pursued to this day. Nowadays, José Lambert serves as its honorary chairman. He is also a co-editor of Target – International Journal of Translation Studies2 and the author of more than 100 articles. Additionally, he co-edited such volumes as Literature and Translation: New Perspectives in Literary Studies (1978), Translation in the Development of Literatures – Les Traductions dans le développement des Littératures (1993), Translation and Modernization (1995), Translation Studies in Hungary (1996) and Crosscultural and Linguistic Perspectives on European Open and Distance Learning (1998). He has been a guest professor at many universities around the world such as Penn University, New York University, University of Alberta, University of Amsterdam and the Sorbonne, having lectured in many others as well. Starting in 2010/2 he will serve a 2-year tenure as a guest professor at Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. The interview here presented is an excerpt of a larger project still in the making and with a broader agenda. In its broader version the project aims at collecting José Lambert’s opinions and views on a variety of subjects related to Translation Studies, from its history to its many conceptual and theoretical debates. -
Learning Speech Translation from Interpretation

Universit¨atKarlsruhe (TH), zur Sicherung guter wissenschaftlicher Praxis in der jeweils g¨ultigenFassung beachtet habe. Karlsruhe, den 21. Mai 2010 Matthias Paulik Abstract The basic objective of this thesis is to examine the extent to which automatic speech translation can benefit from an often available but ignored resource, namely human interpreter speech. The main con- tribution of this thesis is a novel approach to speech translation development, which makes use of that resource. The performance of the statistical models employed in modern speech translation systems depends heavily on the availability of vast amounts of training data. State-of-the-art systems are typically trained on: (1) hundreds, sometimes thousands of hours of manually transcribed speech audio; (2) bi-lingual, sentence-aligned text corpora of man- ual translations, often comprising tens of millions of words; and (3) monolingual text corpora, often comprising hundreds of millions of words. The acquisition of such enormous data resources is highly time-consuming and expensive, rendering the development of deploy- able speech translation systems prohibitive to all but a handful of eco- nomically or politically viable languages. -

Most people have the ability to listen and speak and they use different languages like Swedish, Urdu and English etc. to communicate. Hearing impaired people use signs to communicate. Pakistan Sign Language (PSL) is the preferred language of the deaf in Pakistan. Currently, human PSL interpreters are required to facilitate communication between the deaf and hearing; they are not always available, which means that communication among the deaf and other people may be impaired or nonexistent. In this situation, a system with voice recognition as an input and PSL as an output will be highly helpful. Objectives: As part of this thesis, we explore challenges faced by deaf people in everyday life while interacting with unimpaired.
