Centre for Transcultural Research

language education, translation, literature, general and applied linguistics

Welcome to the Centre for Transcultural Research. The centre provides a meeting point for language-related research in:

Language education
Translation & Interpreting
Literature
General linguistics
Applied linguistics

We are interested in cultural transmissions both within and between dominant and marginal communities and the shaping of (trans)national identities through language.

Current themes are:

Policy and practice in language, translation and language education
Postcolonial cultures and gender in comparative literature and translation
Linguistic and discourse analysis, text, intertext and translation processes
Language and identity in literature, education, translation and sociolinguistics
Migration, ethnicities, language and hybridity
Language/s, society and transcultural processes
Contrastive and typological issues (valency, focus constructions)

The centre aims to promote innovative and interdisciplinary collaboration between established and new researchers and welcomes links with colleagues who have expertise complementary to CTR's research interests.
