(2013) ARAK01 20131Arabic Studies
- Abstract
- The purpose of this thesis is to analyse an HIV and AIDS related information brochure translated from Swedish to Arabic as well as to show possible consequences of an inaccurate translation.

Choices of words that do not convey the same message as the original material contains occur. (Less)
