Alexandra Stan

Alexandra Stan serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics at the Faculty of Letters, Transilvania University of Brasov, Romania. Holding a PhD, she actively contributes to linguistics education and research within this institution, focusing on theoretical and practical language analysis.

Her research centers on semantics, lexicography, and contrastive linguistics between English and Romanian, with significant emphasis on idiomatic expressions, bilingual dictionaries, and English for Specific Purposes (ESP). Stan's work explores lexical semantics across cultural contexts, examining how concepts like natural phenomena, physical attributes, and digital communication manifest in language structures. She investigates terminology variation, semantic fields, and the impact of technology on language learning.

Recent publications (2022-2024) reveal expanding research trajectories into digital discourse, including code-switching in gaming communities and specialized glossary development. Her scholarship consistently employs contrastive methodology to analyze linguistic phenomena across English and Romanian, with growing attention to cultural metaphors, literary language, and technology-enhanced language education. This trajectory demonstrates increasing interdisciplinary connections between computational linguistics, sociolinguistics, and educational technology.
