Organisation profile

Internationally, research into translation and interpreting is becoming a well-established research area, and at the Department of Language and Business Communication it has always been an important part of the teaching activities and contacts with the business community.

At the ASB Research group for translation and interpreting we conduct business-related research into translation and interpreting. The basic characteristic of our research is its empirical foundation and the predominant use of methods taken from the fields of linguistics and social science. Our interests are directed towards exploring processes as well as products in relation to translation and interpreting. Therefore, the translation and interpreting professions are vital aspects of our research. As an example, we perform linguistic analyses of translation and interpreting products and do interviews and surveys directed at professional translators and interpreters, at the users of the services provided by the translators and interpreters, and at society in general. We have a broad definition of translation which also includes localisation and translation between genres. Not only are our translation researchers internationally recognised, our interpreting research environment has an international reputation for being unique and goes under the name of "The Aarhus School of Interpreting Research".

Our vision is to be an active and important part of the ever growing international research environment within translation and interpreting.

Through a higher degree of cooperation and research management we wish to increase the number of international publications, maintain our large international network and disseminate our research results - to the business community and other interest groups in particular.
