Background

About Marklen Konurbaev

Research area: cognitive linguistics, cultural studies, intercultural communication, phenomenology of speech. Analysis of deep phenomenological structures in intercultural communication. Vast areas of communication including politics, religion, culture, social groups trends, and academic communication. In my research and analysis I focus on the mechanisms of this cognitive communicative immediacy – its rules, limitations, dark areas and predictability that may avert critical points in human communication in the areas of politics, social interaction and religion. Communicative predictability is based on the identified dynamic phenomenological patterns in various social groups. That’s the practical value of my research. Among my most successful projects that have been active for over a decade are various translation and interpreting research and web-application development that are based on my cultural and linguistic studies. A CAT-Tool (computer-assisted translation) has been developed for a top translation company and is being effectively used by the business to improve quality and speed of translation. I also initiated and am currently completing the interpreter-skill rating and market valuation platform. Other commercial projects include: new web platform development that would be used as a single gateway for university and college students to get their first employment through specially targeted crowdsourcing projects; a designer aggregator platform for organizing designer jams and experience exchange.
