Elena Carpi

Elena Carpi serves as Associate Professor of Spanish Language and Translation at the University of Pisa's Faculty of Economics within the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures. Holding a PhD in Iberian Studies, she combines academic expertise with extensive professional experience as a literary translator and conference interpreter.

Her research program centers on historical linguistics with specialized applications in tourism communication, economic discourse, IT terminology, and intercomprehension among Romance languages. She investigates lexical evolution in Spanish across philosophical, artistic, and commercial domains, particularly during the Enlightenment era, focusing on discourse patterns and translation challenges in specialized contexts.

Analysis of her 2014-2019 publications reveals consistent exploration of 18th-century Spanish vocabulary development in economic, philosophical, and artistic texts. Her work demonstrates methodological emphasis on corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, and cross-linguistic comparison, with particular attention to translation dynamics between Spanish and Italian in specialized domains.
