Hello, Natasha. My name is Hongxing Qi, a doctoral candidate at sfu. My area of interest is in contrastive rhetoric and cross-cultual communications. Meanwhile, I am also a translator of English and Chinese. But I am not a member of the CATS. I wonder if you could help me to get in touch with them, say a contact person, for I would like to be a member of CATS. --Hongxing >From: Natasha Artemeva <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: CASLL/Inkshed <[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: CATTW 2001 -- announcement >Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2000 11:50:03 -0400 > >I would like to announce that we will be holding a joint session >with the Canadian Association for Translation Studies (CATS) at our >next conference at Laval University.
