International Workshop on Intralingual Translation
Department of Translation and Interpreting Studies Boğaziçi University, Istanbul 27-28 November 2014 The standard definitions of "translation" commonly refer to transfer processes from one language into another or to the end product of such a transfer. However, translation is not only an interlingual and intercultural phenomenon. Translation also occurs within the "same" linguistic and cultural domain. One example of intralingual translation is the numerous varieties of expert-to-layperson communication where the sophisticated language of the text needs to be simplified for the layperson.
