A little update…
Yes, I am still alive. After the Sydney symposium, I came back to Brisbane to start working on a 370-page book that has to be translated by the end of November. Hence, I am doing 60+ hours a week, I am still teaching, and as you can imagine it’s hard to find time for anything else. The classes are almost finished, though, so I should resume posting regularly as of next weekend. Please stay tuned, and make the most of this opportunity: maybe you missed out on some older posts! Cheers

Un piccolo aggiornamento…
Sì, sono ancora vivo. Dopo il simposio di Sydney sono tornato a Brisbane e mi sono messo subito a tradurre un libro di 370 pagine che devo consegnare per la fine di novembre. Di conseguenza sto lavorando più di 60 ore a settimana, sto ancora insegnando, e come potrete immaginare è difficilissimo trovare il tempo per qualsiasi altra cosa. I corsi di italiano tuttavia sono quasi finiti, quindi dovrei riprendere a scrivere regolarmente su questo blog a partire dal prossimo weekend. Non andate via, e approfittate dell’occasione: forse vi siete persi qualche vecchio post! Grazie.

Hi Guiseppe,
I am a masters student about to start a thesis on the translation of sociolect and i came across your blog whilst doing some research on the internet. I was wondering if you have ever written anything on this topic and if so how to access it.
Hello Aideen,
Thanks for dropping by, and congratulations on your thesis, I like your topic.
I haven’t written a whole lot on the subject, but I recently gave a presentation at a symposium in Sydney, which was about translating dialects, idiolects and sociolects. I am waiting for the Writing and Society Research Group at UWS to upload the recordings on their website (it should happen soon) and I will also publish the transcript on this blog. Follow the blog via RSS feed if you’re interested, or come visit in the next weeks. Cheers
