Translation, Linguistics, Culture

Nigel Armstrong researches French linguistics and translation in the University of Leeds, UK. Linguistic research focuses on social and regional linguistic variation in France, while projects in a translation perspective apply the study of variation to how language is used in popular culture: films and animated cartoons, for example.
