Biktchourina Angelina

Angelina Biktchourina serves as a Lecturer in Russian Studies at the National Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilizations (INALCO) in Paris, specializing in Slavic linguistics with a focus on Russian language pragmatics. Her academic profile centers on interactional linguistics within Eurasian contexts, particularly examining cultural and normative dimensions of communication.

Her research investigates pragmatic lexicon of interactions, formulas of (im)politeness, ritual behaviors, terms of address, and verbs of movement in Russian discourse. This work spans media communications, literature, and cinema, analyzing how linguistic choices reflect sociocultural norms and power structures in Russian-speaking communities. Key methodologies include discourse analysis and historical linguistics applied to contemporary language use.

Recent publications demonstrate consistent thematic focus on address terms and normative language practices, with three major articles published between 2020-2024 examining elderly address terms in cultural media, self-description mechanisms in media, and normative aspects of nominal address forms. These works reveal evolving patterns in Russian linguistic behavior across different communication contexts.

Biktchourina actively contributes to the CREE research team and holds administrative responsibility for Russian language tutoring programs. Her teaching portfolio includes advanced text practice (M1), Russian grammatical themes (L3), business Russian (L3), and practical grammar instruction (L3), emphasizing real-world language application.
