01 UNDERGRADUATE THESIS IDEAS

Areas of expertise

Areas in which I can supervise undergraduate research. We define the topic together with the student and build a small corpus for the study; the analysis is based on that corpus. No prior computer science knowledge is required: relevant digital tools will be learned during the project with guidance.

01STYLISTICS AND DISCOURSE ANALYSIS

Literary style and discourse features, including affective markers and ways of making texts more accessible to children.

02LINGUISTICS AND PRAGMATICS

General and Romanian linguistics, syntax, forms of address, and how language adapts to a communicative situation and audience.

03STYLOMETRY AND DIGITAL TEXT ANALYSIS

Stylistic patterns in a small corpus: vocabulary, repetition and sentence length, explored with tools such as Stylo and approachable digital methods.

04TRANSLATION STUDIES AND MACHINE TRANSLATION

Comparing Romanian–French literary translations through style, meaning and pragmatics, including a close look at machine-translation output.

05E-LEXICOGRAPHY AND DIGITAL RESOURCES

Structuring dictionary entries, definitions and examples, and organizing lexical data in digital resources such as CLRE and eDTLR.

06E-DIALECTOLOGY AND COMPUTATIONAL PHONETICS

Regional variation, digitizing ALR materials and assisted phonetic transcription, including OCR review and tools such as DiaTrans.

✳ SUPERVISED THESIS

Mărci ale afectivității în Discursul religios pentru copii

Alessia Luța (née Radu) · Romanian and German Language and Literature · Faculty of Letters, UAIC · 2026

The thesis studies affective markers and stylistic features in religious discourse for children, using a corpus that includes a children’s Bible, liturgical texts, religion textbooks and catecheses.

02 About

Between close reading
and digital analysis.

I am a researcher with a background in philology and experience in corpus linguistics, translation and natural language processing. I use digital methods to ask more nuanced questions about texts, language and meaning.

I earned a PhD in Philology in 2025 with research on the style of machine-translated Romanian and French literary texts, jointly supervised by the Doctoral School of Philological Studies and the Doctoral School of Computer Science. I currently contribute to digital lexicographic resources and develop tools for exploring and transcribing linguistic data.
