Arabic Studies, Antwerp Campus

Research Group

Lifecycle:1 Sep 2017 →  Today
Organisation profile:

The  interests of the research group fall within the realm of translation technology, legal translation and terminology, in particular the peculiar nature of legal concepts and the consequences of this special character on communication across different legal systems and different legal communities. Apart from this, we focus on Afro-Asiatic linguistics and linguistic variability in Arabic, with special attention to its sociolinguistic and language ideological aspects and the ways in which native speakers of Arabic deal with this variability in the context of identity construction.
