This research is based on the following groups and projects:
GRADIT. Translation and discursive argumentation studies group http://www.upf.edu/dtf/
The study is based on a linguistic and cognitive approach to translation
and aims to apply certain linguistic concepts to the analysis of a body
of specialized texts (economic, socio-political and scientific communication
texts) and the respective translations in English, French, German, Spanish
and Catalan.
Within this group, there are two subgroups that have two different areas
of focus:
CEDIT. Translation and discourse group
TAVAT. Audiovisual translation and textual adaptation group
SETAM. Seminar of studies on audiovisual and multimedia translation (thematic
group) http://www.vives.org/tematics/setam.html

is formed by representatives of the fields of audiovisual and multimedia
translation from the following universities:
Universitat d'Alacant
Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona

The main goal of SETAM is to carry out university research studies in
the field of audiovisual and multimedia translation (AMT) and, additionally,
to offer academic and vocational training as well as forums for the discussion
and exchange of research results and ideas with other persons and research
groups.
