Correctorate, Lectorate & Translations
Besides painting, language is another of my passions. As an academically trained language expert, I offer proofreading and lectorate services in German and English, as well as German-English and English-German translations for correspondence, school and student texts/theses, reports, articles, brochures, short stories, etc.
Correctorate
In proofreading, the text is improved in terms of linguistic accuracy with regard to
- spelling,
- grammar and
- punctuation.
Lectorate
In addition to the correctorate, the lectorate offers additional improvements in
- sentence structure,
- expression,
- style,
- word repetition,
- filler words,
- terms and abbreviations.
Logic and consistency are given equal attention.
