Emotions are an important part of language and of course also play an important role in translation. This includes translations of fiction, but also of subtitles, product descriptions or political texts. Not only during the preparation of translations, but also during the subsequent quality control, it may be necessary to check whether the transmitted emotions in the ST and TT are similar or not. With the help of algorithms, it is now possible to evaluate and recognize emotions in written language with computers. In the context of this course, you will learn how to prepare, edit and analyse texts for this task and how to report and interpret or compare these results. For this purpose, you will learn both practical aspects of language and data processing as well as theoretical aspects and familiarize yourself with relevant literature. The aim of this course is that you will be able to deal with the question of what emotions are from a cognitive, Translation Studies, media and computational linguistics perspective. You do not need any special prior knowledge for this course. The background literature for this course will be primarily in English.Soon after you sign up for this course, you will have access to a Teams where you will find introductory material and assignments. It is mandatory to work on the materials and tasks before the project week, as they are the basis for the topics dealt with in the project week. Active participation and an essay are required to pass this course.
The course is divided into four areas: You will get to know the tools that are used to carry out sentiment analyses and you will get an overview of three theoretical subject areas: Emotions & Cognition, Emotions in Translation Studies and Emotions in audiovisual media.
Please check that you have a good internet connection and let us know if this is not the case. Please make sure that you have access to the university computers via the remote desktop connection, because we will need this.
