"translation" from one variety, register, etc of a language to another variety of the same language

 * 2016, Brian Mossop, &apos;Intralingual translation': a desirable concept?, in Across Languages and Cultures 17 (1)::
 * Intralingual rewording should be called something else [other than translation], and I suggest cislation: so translation is carrying a message to the far side of a language border, whereas cislation is carrying a message to a new place while staying on "this side" of the border". (Mossop 2016:2)

 * [...] (Grbić 2011:3). This interpretation thus places the cislating agent in the source culture, not the target culture. However, the same term has also been recently proposed by another scholar, with a totally different meaning (a difference much more significant that the one mentioned above concerning translatorship). This second proposal has to do with the ongoing argument about intralingual translation (see e.g. Zethsen 2009). Brian Mossop (2016) suggests that
 * [i]ntralingual rewording should be called something else [i.e. not translation], and I suggest cislation: so translation is carrying a message to the far side of a language border, whereas cislation is carrying a message to a new place while staying on "this side" of the border". (Mossop 2016:2)
 * Both proposals about cislation thus reduce the scope of the term 'translation'.

another translation-related sense

 * to "translate" something in such a way that the reader is carried into the world of the text, rather than "translating" the text's images etc into ones the reader already understands


 * 2018, Igor Grbić, The Occidentocentric Fallacy: Turning Literature into a Province'', page 74:
 * By using the opposite Latin prefix [of translation] I have suggested the term cislation, meaning carrying the reader—not the text—hither, cis, into the world inhabited by the particular work in question. Amidst the ongoing war between translators and cislators I would generally side with the latter. Translation realized as cislation necessarily challenges the reader with ways of doing, feeling, thinking and saying that are unlike the ways he knows from his own mother tongue/culture  Whenever possible, one should stay clear from any ethnocentric policy ad translate only the language, not its culture. That is, one should try to cislate.



transgender-related sense

 * the rendering (or 'translation') of transgender people and concepts into simplified words, concepts, etc that cisgender people can understand:


 * 2019, Kate Curley, Debunking the false dichotomy: Developing and applying trans quantcrit at the intersection of trans/non-binary identities and religious, secular, and spiritual engagement in college, thesis for Eastern Michigan University
 * What is called the cislation of transness (the perpetuation of cisnormativity in descriptions of trans people) in higher education and RSS research is pervasive (Sumerau, 2017; Sumerau, Cragun, & Mathers, 2016). Historically and contemporarily, cis people have controlled the narrative on trans/NB people’s experiences.


 * 2019 June 4, T.J. Jourian and Z Nicolazzo, "Not Another Gender Binary: A Call For Complexity Over Cis-Readability: Why a nonbinary/binary trans dichotomy is counterproductive to gender liberation", National Center for Institutional Diversity:
 * Rather than push for more fluid, dynamic, and intersectional notions of gender expansiveness, the “binary v. nonbinary trans people” fallacy keeps our most simplified and palatable narratives front and center. This is yet another practice of cislation, or the translating of seemingly illegible (i.e., not understandable) genders for cis recognition.


 * 2020, TJ Jourian, "Transfeminist methodology: Examining cissexism in higher education and student affairs research", The Wiley Handbook of Gender Equity in Higher …:
 * here, so I will refer to this as cislation instead. Cislation goes hand in hand with Johnson’s is inaccessible to us, we might ourselves engage in cislation. As TGNC folks, we are at times
 * 2020, Z Nicolazzo, TJ Jourian, "'I'm looking for people who want to do disruption work': Trans* academics and power discourses in academic conferences", Gender and Education, 2020:
 * our and our kin’s lives, realities, bodies, and voices, thereby interrupting their cislation. Cislation refers to an analytical practice of presenting trans perspectives in such a way as to make them legible to a dominantly and presumably nontrans readership, but that may in fact
