The language of translation in Brazil: written vs. oral discourse. University of Antwerp
First as Treachery, Then as Parse: a media study on the role of (written) language in (visual) arts . KU Leuven
This project aims to develop a comprehensive body of work (both theoretical and practical) based on an extensive historical analysis of art and language’s relationship. To do so, the research methodology chosen resembles the Media Archaeology/Studies, specifically if applied to the three mayor stages of conceptual art and (it’s) current media technological development:
1) European/American Conceptual Art (“Linguistic turn” against the ...
Preverbal indefinite subjects in spoken and written French KU Leuven
1. Background and status quaestionis
Informal (mostly spoken) (henceforth IF) and formal (typically written) French (henceforth FF) are quite different. Some authors even speak of a diglossic situation and argue in favor of the co-existence of two different grammars in French (e.g. Klein 2012; Rowlett 2013).

While differences between countries in the use of verbal communication elements have in some publications mainly been ...
Processes underlying mono- and bilingual written word production: A computational approach based on typewriting errors Ghent University
In psycholinguistics, written production has received only limited attention compared to spoken production, especially on the word level. The goal of the current project is to build a computational model of the processes underlying written picture naming based on errors in mono- and bilingual writing. For this, I will extend the interactive two-step model of spoken word production (Dell et al., 1997) to the written modality by adding a letter ...
The narrative construction of religious identities in German-speaking Muslim fiction written by authors of Iranian or Iraqi origin. Ghent University
After 2001, Muslim fiction in German proliferated. My research project analyses religious practices and experiences of Islam as well as the narrative construction of religious identities in literary texts written in German by authors of Iranian and Iraqi descent, using a rhetorical and narratological approach.
