Alessandra Lombardi

Alessandra Lombardi serves as Associate Professor of German Language and Translation at the Faculty of Linguistic Sciences and Foreign Literatures, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart (Brescia campus). She teaches German Linguistics (Bachelor's degree), Communicative and Negotiation Strategies of the German Language (Master's degree), and the Lexicography and Computers module within the Humanities Computing course.

Her research centers on contrastive linguistics (Italian-German), Language for Specific Purposes (LSP) in legal and tourism contexts, corpus-based terminology, and lexical semantics—particularly collocations and neologisms in contemporary Italian and German. She employs corpus linguistics methodologies to analyze specialized communication across academic, legal, and tourism domains, with emphasis on terminological precision and cross-cultural translation challenges.

Publications reveal consistent focus on legal linguistics (cybercrime definitions, criminal law terminology) and tourism discourse (historical/comparative analysis of Lake Garda marketing). Her work bridges theoretical linguistics with practical applications in translation pedagogy and multilingual database development, notably through the TouriTerm project for tourism text production.

Lombardi coordinates German Language Expert Collaborators at Brescia since 2006-2007 and participates in the Doctoral School in Linguistic and Literary Sciences. She maintains active membership in the Italian Association of German Studies (AIG), contributing to scholarly discourse on German-Italian linguistic interfaces.
