Giuliana Russo's research focuses on both diachronic and synchronic aspects of English linguistics and translation theory and practice. Her work encompasses a wide range of topics, including audiovisual translation, political discourse, language variation, historical syntax (e.g., periphrastic 'do'), anglicisms, bilingualism, and cultural aspects of language. She has contributed to international scholarly efforts such as the Lexicon Grammaticorum and participates in national (PRIN), local (Prometeo), and international (Prescriptivism) research projects. Her research bridges theoretical inquiry with practical pedagogical applications, particularly in language teaching and professional translation.

The 15 most recent theses she has supervised reveal a consistent focus on translation studies—especially audiovisual and specialized translation—and English linguistics, including discourse analysis, idiomatic expressions, gender and ideology in translation, and historical language change. Her students frequently explore cultural and media-related topics, such as the influence of social media on language, the localization of video games, and the representation of political and gender issues in language and translation.
