<p class="MsoTitle">Special Issue on Building Bridges Between Technical and Professional Communication and Translation Studies <span style="font-weight: normal;">(September 2024)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Guest Editors: Belén López-Arroyo (University of Valladolid), Xiaobo Wang (Sam Houston State University), and Suguru Ishizaki (Carnegie Mellon University)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the digitally-driven era of globalization, international professionals are increasingly faced with challenges of communicating with non-native languages in multilingual contexts. Whether they work with professional translators or generate
their own communication, international professionals must draw on linguistic and rhetorical knowledge to communicate effectively. In this global context, researchers in translation studies (TS) have increasingly become aware of the need for interdisciplinary
research [1]. However, in their introduction to a special issue of <i>Connexions</i> published in 2015, Maylath et al. [2] lament that there is little research in technical and professional communication (TPC) that addresses the training of international professionals.
They further argue that “more research and dialogue are needed to fully grasp the implications and commonalities in all areas of multilingual professional communication.” Since then, we have seen an increasing number of interdisciplinary studies in TPC and
TC with a wide range of topics, including multilingual communication [3], collaborative learning [4], [5], professional training [6], and the impact of information technology [7], as well as localization [8]. Building on the recent scholarship, this special
issue hopes to create a forum for fostering interdisciplinary research and collaboration between researchers in technical and professional communications and translation studies.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This special issue will highlight the latest knowledge that emerges from the interdisciplinary research involving translation studies and technical and professional communication, and suggest practical implications of the findings to the
training of both professional writers and translators in higher education and organizational contexts. We invite submissions from researchers across the disciplines who employ empirical approaches, including (but not limited to) corpus-based and computational
methods to address technical and professional communication in multilingual contexts. We are interested in submissions related to the following questions, among others. <o:p></o:p></p>
