(c) REPORT OF THE 1997 CAC SPONSORED SIGHT TRANSLATION COMPETITIONS

Submitted to the AGM of CAC, 3 June 1997, St. John's, Newfoundland.



The 1997 Sight Translation Competitions went off without any problems at

all. The practice of sending only one copy of each passage to

participating institutions to be copied in whatever numbers are needed

continues to shore up the financial basis of the competitions. Postage,

therefore, remains the only significant cost of the competition. Entries

in all four competitions were up over 1996, in some cases significantly:

Jr. Latin by 19%, Jr. Greek by 33%, Sr. Latin by 34%, Sr. Greek by 11%.

Submissions to the Jr. Latin and Sr. Greek were virtually unchanged;

those to the Jr. Greek and Sr. Latin, however, showed a marked increase

of 31% and 24%, respectively. These numbers suggest a growing interest

in the Sights. The actual numbers for this year are:



JUNIOR LATIN: 208 entries from 18 universities, 6 schools = 93

                submissions.

JUNIOR GREEK: 110 entries from 18 universities, 1 school = 47

                submissions.

SENIOR LATIN: 118 entries from 19 universities = 46 submissions.

SENIOR GREEK: 79 entries from 16 universities = 25 submissions.



The passages chosen for this year's competitions occasioned almost no

response from participating institutions. The JUNIOR GREEK paper was,

however, described by one professor as "quite inappropriate," but no

other comments were made.



The report on the JUNIOR LATIN paper, Pliny the Elder "Naturalis

Historia" 8.1.1, 8.7.23, reads: "There were a total of 93 entries, five

of them in French (all of the latter placed, I would say, in the top

10-15%). The syntax and vocabulary of this passage proved troublesome to

nearly all of the candidates. Thus, very few translated "sermonis

patrii" or "occurrentia manu dimoveat" correctly. Interestingly, four of

the five French candidates, perhaps prompted by the French "patrie",

gave the correct translation of "patrii" ("of their country"). The

proper meaning of "manus" in the context ("trunk") was supplied in the

vocabulary, but a few English-language candidates took this to mean

"tree-trunk" and had their elephants hauling logs."



The report on the JUNIOR GREEK paper, Chariton 1.8, reads: "The excerpt

from Chariton's novel occasioned an impressively wide range of

responses, from optimistic creative composition to careful attempts to

construe the Greek. Chariton's syntax is relatively uncomplicated, and,

accordingly, it posed few problems for the contestants. The most

challenging phrase was "aisthesin elambanen egeiromenes ex hypnou" with

the participle used substantively "(she regained the consciousness of a

woman waking from sleep"). Similarly, the attributive use of the

prepositional phrase in "ton ek tes afwnias . . . taphon" caused

universal puzzlement ("the burial that resulted from her

unconsciousness"). Students regularly have difficulty coming to terms

with the free word-order of an inflected language, and often impose the

familiar patterns of English or French on Greek, consequently

misconstruing fairly simple phrases. In the present passage, for

example, word-order seems to have caused many to treat the verb in

"psofon epoiei chrysou te kai argyrou" as a passive ("was made of"),

thus missing the connection with what precedes. So far as vocabulary is

concerned, it is impossible to anticipate what words will be unfamiliar

in each case; the help provided was merely a series of clues,

constituting a thread to help the contestants navigate the labyrinth of

an unfamiliar passage. Careful guesses based on the context are

preferable to leaving "lacunae"; students should also be encouraged to

make use of their knowledge of forms and morphology in general to make

sense of unfamiliar words. A case in point is "ptoma", which defeated

almost all of the contestants; the meaning of that word might have been

inferred from a knowledge of the principal parts of "pipto" ("peptoka"

in the perfect) and an awareness of the typical significance of nouns

ending in "-ma, -matos"."



The report on the SENIOR LATIN paper, Suetonius "Divus Julius" 55-6,

reads: "A distressing feature of this year's entries was the high number

of papers containing avoidable errors, such as those arising from

failure to look at the vocabulary provided (extremely common) or from

spending so long on the first paragraph that the translation was left

incomplete (less common). It looks as though many candidates have had

very little experience of doing sight translation with vocabulary and a

time limit, and I suspect that they would do much better if given some

practice."



The report on the SENIOR GREEK paper, Longus "Daphnis et Chloe" 2.7-9,

reads: "The five winners stood out clearly from the rest of the field.

Difficulties that the candidates encountered included: (1) basic

grammatical errors, e.g. failure to recognize that in a nominal sentence

or a sentence with a copular verb the subject has the article and the

predicate does not, regardless of word-order, so that "theos estin ho

Eros" means "love is a god" and not "God is love", (2) overly rigid

adherence to translation-equivalents, e.g. while it is true that "filew"

most often means "to love" it can mean, as in this passage, "to kiss",

and (3) a certain lack of common sense, e.g. general cultural knowledge

would tend to suggest that "Was Eros a child or a chicken?" is unlikely

to be a correct translation; similarly, but for quite different reasons,

angels are not at home in classical texts and a translation that

involves them will likely be in error."



The thanks of all are extended to those who set and marked this year's

papers: Dr. Christopher Brown, University of Western Ontario, Dr.

Eleanor Dickey, University of Ottawa, Dr. R. Drew Griffith, Queen's

University and Dr. Beert Verstraete, Acadia University.



The new amended mailing list now contains the names of schools from

across the country which are actually offering Latin and Greek. Using

this, I was encouraged and pleased to receive entries from schools in

BC, Ontario, and Nova Scotia which had never participated in the

competition before. I was also pleased by the large number of

francophone entries in both the Junior and Senior competitions.



Again, I wish to record here my own thanks to those who set and marked

the passages for this year's competitions; their care and attention to

detail and their prompt observance of my deadlines have made my job very

much easier than it might have been. Thanks are due also to those who

entered the contests and to their teachers; without their enthusiasm and

participation there could, of course, be no contests. I would be remiss

if I did not acknowledge here, as well, those who support the Sights

with their generous financial contributions. There are regrettably fewer

of them this year than in the past, but in a very real way they make the

Competitions possible.



Respectfully submitted,

Patricia J. Calkin, Dalhousie University

[2] CALLS FOR PAPERS



OUTSIDE OF CANADA



(a) THE BRISTOL MYTH COLLOQUIUM



Following the success of the "Myth into Logos?" conference of July 1996,

the Department of Classics and Ancient History, University of Bristol,

proposes to hold ongoing colloquia on myth, possibly at two-year

intervals. The first of these is to take place 14-16 July 1998. Papers

on any aspect of myth are welcome, but we would be especially interested

in papers on one of these two themes: "Greek Myth and the West",

exploring the application and transformation of Greek myth in Sicily,

Italy, Rome, and Etruria, whether in foundation legends, literature,

art, or philosophy; and "Classical Myth and the Nineteenth Century",

exploring the reception of myth particularly in nineteenth-century

Europe.



The intention of the organisers is to establish a comfortable ambiance

in which a free exchange of ideas and current work on the subject of

mythology can occur. The conference venue will be Clifton Hill House,

Bristol, a beautiful Georgian home once belonging to John Addington

Symonds. Some of the papers will be circulated in advance, so that at

the conference itself, after a brief summary, the maximum of time can be

devoted to discussion.



Full board (bed, breakfast, dinner) is available at Clifton Hill House

for #36.50 per night (1997 rate). Participants need only book for the

nights of 14 and 15 July, but may arrive earlier and stay later (those

planning to attend the Triennial Conference at Cambridge 20-24 July may

stay if they wish until the conference begins).



If you think you might like to participate in the conference, and

especially if you would like to give a paper, please contact the person

below. Postgraduates and established scholars are equally welcome. At

this stage, we would merely like to have some indication of interest

from potential participants. A response (however tentative) by 1 July

1997 would be most welcome. A second circular, by e-mail and more

conventional post, can be expected in early autumn.

(b) SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING AND COMMUNICATION IN THE ELECTRONIC ENVIRONMENT

University of Toronto at Scarborough

September 26-27, 1997



New information technologies, and in particular the World-Wide Web, are

offering tremendous diversity of channels and media for scholarly and

scientific communication. At the same time, traditional paper-based

publishing is being rapidly transformed and severely challenged by

economic shortfalls and networking technologies. It is timely and

critical to examine how elements of the established scholarly

communication vehicle, the journal, can best be combined with the new

elements of distributed network publishing. The Centre for Instructional

Technology Development at the Bladen Library, University of Toronto at

Scarborough, is hosting an international symposium to examine the

changes in research practices and implications of electronic publishing.



WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

This symposium is intended for all stakeholders in the scholarly

communication processes, from academics and researchers from across the

disciplines, who are primary producers and consumers of published

knowledge, to librarians and publishers, who add value and order to

intellectual products, and to computer specialists, who are increasingly

called upon to design and maintain the conduits for information

exchange.



GOALS OF THE SYMPOSIUM:

 - Promote knowledge of distributed network publishing among faculty and

graduate students in the university and research communities,



 - Draw attention to the wealth of scholarly and scientific information

and peer-reviewed electronic journals already present on the Internet,



 - Bring together librarians, computer specialists, publishers and

academics to consider collaborative models that would further facilitate

the scholarly communication process,



 - Explore the emerging cooperative research, resource sharing and

teaching models enabled by networked technologies,



 - Examine the limitations and advantages of scholarly electronic

publishing.



KEY ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION:

 - The role of Government Agencies and University Administrations in

promoting electronic publishing

 - Peer review and Quality Control

 - Legal and Copyright Issues

 - Archive and Retrieval of digital material

 - Searching, linking and New Tools for scholarship

 - Learning to Publish in the Electronic Milieu

 - Electronic Publishing in the Sciences

 - Electronic Publishing in the Humanities and Social Sciences



SPEAKERS AT THE SYMPOSIUM:



Keynote speaker: Stevan Harnad (Professor of Psychology, University of

Southampton).



Invited speakers:

Gregory Crane (Professor of Classics, Tufts University), Peter Boyce

(Senior Associate of Electronic Publishing, American Astronomical

Society), Jean-Claude Guedon (Professor of Comparative Literature,

University of Montreal), Carole Moore (Chief Librarian, University of

Toronto), Leslie Ellen Harris (author of Canadian Copyright Law),

Katherine Denning (Editor of Assemblage), David McCallum (Principal

consultant of the Electronic Publishing Promotion Project, Industry

Canada), Anne Marie Corrigan (Vice President, Journals and Creative

Services, University of Toronto Press), Sally Brown (Senior

Vice-President, AUCC) and more.

The mounting of a production of Seneca's 'Trojan Women', directed by

Gyllian Raby of the Shaw Festival Theatre, offers an invaluable

opportunity for scholars to explore whether Seneca's plays received

formal production, and if they did how they might have been staged.

Participants will each be given up to an hour to develop and demonstrate

their points of view, which touch not just upon the plays themselves but

also upon the social milieu and the influence of Seneca's plays from

antiquity to today. Ample time for questions will be provided both after

each paper and informally.
