As longtime crusader against academic jargon, I can make your paper more understandable to people outside your field and specialization. Scholars are especially known for using non-English words to represent concepts that originated in other languages and cultures. Unfortunately, this practice often renders academic writing difficult for non-specialists to understand. My background as a translator makes me especially skilled at finding translations for these terms whenever possible.<\/li><li>sentence and paragraph length. Many languages favor long sentences, but English does not. Let me break your sentences and paragraphs down into bite-sized pieces that readers outside the academy can easily digest.<\/li><li>false cognates. How many times have you used a word like &#8220;popular,&#8221; &#8220;ancient,&#8221; or &#8220;fabric,&#8221; not realizing that it doesn&#8217;t mean the same thing in English as it does in Spanish, French, or German? My skilled translator&#8217;s eye will pick out these &#8220;false friends&#8221; and find words that more accurately convey your meaning.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to impress your reviewers and your readers, contact me today to give your paper the DeLorenzo Treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/delorenzotranslation.com\/?page_id=7\">Contact Me!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you a scholar or a graduate student looking to publish in English?\u00a0 Have you written an article, paper, thesis chapter, or grant proposal, but need a native speaker&#8217;s eye to perfect its prose?
