Alain Wolf received his degree in Philosophy and English Literature from the University of York and his PhD in Applied Linguistics from the University of Cambridge.  He has experience as a teacher of English and French and as a translator of academic texts. Prior to coming to the University of East Anglia in 2009, he taught Translation Studies and Pragmatics at the Universities of Cambridge, Durham and Sheffield. 

My research interests are in the area of Intercultural Pragmatics and Translation Studies. My most recent work has focused on the relationship between intercultural identity and inter-religious dialogue. I am also interested in the recovery of inferences in translated literary/sacred texts, specifically in the areas of stage translation and film adaptation.
