Professor Anna Malicka-Kleparska serves in the Department of English-Polish Comparative Linguistics at the Institute of Linguistics, Faculty of Humanities, John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. Her academic career demonstrates deep specialization in linguistic comparison between English and Polish languages with particular focus on lexical phenomena.

Her research interests span multiple dimensions of comparative linguistics including word formation processes, loanword integration, idiomatic expressions across languages, and translation challenges between English and Polish. She has extensively explored morphological phenomena such as compounding, affixation, and cliticization across both languages, with special attention to historical development and contemporary usage patterns.

Professor Malicka-Kleparska has supervised an extensive portfolio of diploma theses covering diverse linguistic phenomena including semantic change, neologisms, cross-linguistic borrowings, and pedagogical approaches to language teaching. Her supervision spans from 2002 through 2025 across both bachelor's and master's levels, demonstrating sustained academic engagement.

Her work encompasses comparative analyses of grammatical structures, semantic patterns, and lexical phenomena between English and Polish, with additional exploration of connections to other languages including German, Spanish, and Russian. She has particular expertise in nominal compounds, conversion processes, and the productivity of various word-formation mechanisms.
