| Introduction | — I was born on 12 February 1988 in Rocourt (in the municipality of Liège). I grew up in Aubel, then I studied in Herve (Collège Royal Marie-Thérèse). I took a bachelor's degree in Germanic languages (Dutch and English) in Namur, then I went to the KU Leuven to do a MA in Linguistics and Literature (Dutch and English). My main research interests are the translation of humour, intertextual references and multilingualism/heterolingualism. // — I'm an Internet freak and fond of cinema. // — I enjoy making (silly) comments on anything, grumpily bickering and nitpicking just like Statler from the Muppets. // Why did you google my name, you nosy person? |
