Paulina Mazurkiewicz

Dr. Paulina Mazurkiewicz serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Romance Linguistics at the Institute of Linguistics, Faculty of Humanities, John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. Her academic profile spans legal linguistics, contrastive French-Polish terminology, and pandemic discourse analysis, with extensive contributions to cognitive metaphor studies and jurislinguistics.

Her research focuses on legal terminology (particularly family law concepts like civil unions, filiation, and marriage annulment), Covid-19 discourse (analyzing conceptual metaphors in vaccination communication), and terminological innovation (neologisms derived from political proper names). She employs corpus-based methodologies and cognitive linguistic frameworks to examine cross-linguistic expression patterns.

Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals a consistent trajectory in specialized discourse analysis, with increasing emphasis on crisis communication since 2020. Her work demonstrates methodological rigor in comparing French and Polish legal lexicons while exploring broader cognitive mechanisms in metaphor realization across Romance and Slavic languages.

She coordinates the Faculty of Humanities' participation in the Lublin Science Festival and organizes national competitions like the Polish Knowledge of France Olympiad.

Her research infrastructure includes collaborations with the European Network On Lexical Innovation (COST project), University of Ostrava (Erasmus+), and Polish Academy of Sciences Scientific Station in Paris. Current projects examine implicit communication in political discourse, particularly Emmanuel Macron's discursive strategies.
