In this paper, we show that Orlicz--Sobolev spaces W1,ϕ(Ω) can be characterized with the ACL- and ACC-characterizations. ACL stands for absolutely continuous on lines and ACC for absolutely continuous on curves. Our results hold under the assumptions that C1(Ω) functions are dense in W1,ϕ(Ω), and ϕ(x,β) ≥ 1 for some β> 0 and almost every x ∈ Ω. The results are new even in the special cases of Orlicz and double phase growth.
