The Chinese Language, 3 hours. This course is not a language course, but is an introduction to what the Chinese language is like. We will talk about where the Chinese language came from, including how Chinese character writing was invented and what it's like now. We will explore differences among Chinese dialects spoken in different parts of China (such as Cantonese, Mandarin and Taiwanese), including their relationships with the local cuisines. We will discuss what it means when someone says "Chinese is a tone language", and whether this helps answer questions like "How do people sing songs in Chinese?" Other topics we will cover include how different speakers speak different kinds of Chinese, Chinese language and the brain, strategies for reading Chinese menus, differences between traditional and simplified Chinese characters, how children in China learn to speak, read, and write Chinese, and how adults learn to speak Chinese as a second language.

Terminology and Translation Technologies. This course is one of the required foundation courses for the Certificate in Translation Studies. The course covers the theoretical and practical aspects of terminology studies, as well as the computer skills required of a translator in today's Language Service Provider (LSP) environment. The theoretical aspect consists of lectures and readings on terminology as a core discipline in the field of translation, which in turn is derived from the field of Linguistics. Practical applications include mastery of a variety of computer-assisted translation tools and the SDL Trados suite, considered the state of the art software for translation work in international agencies, international businesses and translation service providers. Practical applications of terminology work include advanced internet research for translation work, terminology "mining" exercises, construction of terminology databases and management of those databases. Each student will develop a terminology project relevant to their area of translation specialty (e.g., technical, commercial, medical, legal, etc.). The Linguistics Course prerequisites do not apply to this course section (CRN 48356).
