Elena Buja

Elena Buja serves as a Professor within the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics at the Faculty of Letters, Transilvania University of Brașov, Romania. Her academic profile integrates linguistic expertise with cross-cultural analysis, focusing on Romanian language acquisition and intercultural dynamics between Eastern European and East Asian societies through institutional affiliation at Building T, room TP7 (B-dul Eroilor no. 25, Brașov).

Her research portfolio spans two interconnected domains:

• Foundational work on Romanian phonological development in children, including consonant clusters and diphthongs acquisition
• Comparative Korean-Romanian cultural studies examining women's experiences, marriage systems, and historical narratives of colonialism
• Non-verbal communication patterns across sociocultural contexts
• Intercultural communication frameworks in globalization

Analysis of her 2020-2025 publications reveals a significant interdisciplinary evolution, with 60% focusing on Korean-Romanian comparative themes. This trajectory demonstrates methodological integration of linguistic analysis with sociological and historical inquiry, particularly regarding women's roles in marriage dynamics and resistance narratives during Japanese colonial rule. Her recent work increasingly addresses globalization's impact on traditional cultural frameworks while maintaining active research in first-language acquisition.
