Nuria Rodriguez Pedreira is a Professor in the Department of Classical, French and Italian Philology at the University of Santiago de Compostela, affiliated with the Faculty of Philology. Her research focuses on French Philology, with emphasis on discourse analysis, euphemism studies, and contrastive French-Spanish linguistics.
