Economics e-translations into and from European Languages: an online platform
Start date: Oct 1, 2011,
The study and analysis of historical texts of Economics allows useful learning from the past so as to avoid mistakes in the application of economic models.In order to fully understand the economic texts of the past it is very important to underline both their institutional context and their linguistic aspects. Every earlier economic text has indeed been translated from the original language into other European languages by using specific terms that reflect the historical and political environment of the period. A linguistic analysis of the different translations made is therefore necessary to fully understand the history of economic thought.The main aim of the EE-T project is to create a dynamic triangle of knowledge between research, postgraduate education and innovation by promoting the joint application of both ICT tools and the innovative trends of research in the History of Economic Thought (HET) and the study of European Languages for Specific Purposes (LSP).The EE-T project will develop an online platform containing a systematic and classified database of digital texts of the following nature: they are already published translations, into and from various European languages, of economic texts from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries This online platform will also contain guides to the reading and/or to the linguistic, semantic and textual analysis of the texts, questionnaires and exercises, online lectures, critical essays etc.The main concrete result of the EE-T project will be the project online portal and platform, with its systematic database of economics e-translations and the research and educational sections listed above.The intangible results include a fostering of new methods in the teaching of History of Economic Thought (HET) and the strengthening of the link between research, education and innovation.
