Kamil Wabnic

Kamil Wabnic is a research assistant at the Department of Contemporary Polish Language, Institute of Polish Language and Literature, Faculty of Philology, University of Wrocław, a position he has held since 2021. He also collaborates with the Department of Editing and the Spoken Polish Workshop at the same university and with the Wrocław University of Science and Technology through the CLARIN consortium.

His primary research interests lie in the fields of pragmatics, text linguistics, and linguistic genre theory, with a specific focus on colloquial style, verbal communication, and computer-mediated communication. His work often involves corpus-based analysis of spoken and online discourse.

The trends in his publications indicate a strong focus on the structure and function of language in specific communicative contexts. His research spans from analyzing metaphors in internet language and the semantics of idiomatic phrases to examining the genre structures of discussion forums and the pragmatics of examination conversations. This demonstrates a consistent interest in how language is used in informal, everyday, and digital settings.

Dr. Wabnic is currently working on his doctoral dissertation, which centers on the analysis of speech acts in online texts. He completed his master's thesis on the genre structures of internet forums under the supervision of Dr. Monika Zaśko-Zielińska.
