DOROTA MARIA KOTWICA

Dorota Maria Kotwica is a faculty member at the Universitat de València, affiliated with the Faculty of Philology, Translation and Communication, where she works in the Department of Spanish Philology. She completed her doctorate at the same institution in 2016, specializing in the historical development of scientific discourse in Spanish.

Her research focuses on Spanish linguistics, particularly in the areas of discourse analysis, genre studies, and evidentiality—the linguistic expression of information source and speaker commitment. She is a member of the Val.Es.Co. (Valencia Colloquial Spanish) research group, which investigates contemporary and historical forms of spoken and written Spanish, especially in informal and academic registers.

Dorota's doctoral work analyzed the evolution of the scientific article genre in Spanish between 1799 and 1920, contributing to our understanding of how academic writing conventions developed in the Hispanic context. Although no publications are listed in the provided text, her research trajectory suggests a strong engagement with diachronic discourse analysis and epistemic modality in specialized texts.

She has been supervised by Dr. Salvador Pons Bordería and Dr. Marta Albelda Marco during her doctoral studies, indicating mentorship within a recognized linguistic research environment. No scientific awards or student advisement roles are mentioned in the available data.
