Maria Alcantud Diaz

Maria Alcantud Diaz is a Professor in the Department of Language and Literature at the Faculty of Teacher Training, Universitat de València. She is actively involved in research through two key groups: CORPLING (Corpus Linguistics: developments and applications) and TALIS (Teaching and acquisition of solidarity and intercultural competences through languages and literature).

Her primary research interests lie at the intersection of language education, corpus-based linguistic analysis, and critical discourse studies. She focuses on how literature, particularly fairy tales, can be analyzed to understand representations of violence and social values, and how these insights can inform intercultural and solidarity-based teaching methodologies.

Her doctoral work applied corpus linguistics and critical discourse analysis to the Brothers Grimm fairy tales, establishing a foundation for her ongoing research in didactics and literary education. While specific publications and advising roles are not listed, her affiliation with active research groups suggests continued scholarly engagement in applied linguistics and pedagogy.
