Raul Lorca Martinez is a researcher at the University of Murcia, Spain, affiliated with the HISTOLEX research group specializing in the History of Spanish Lexicon and Lexicography. He completed his doctoral studies at the University of Murcia in 2023 and maintains active research in historical linguistic domains.

Education:

• PhD from the University of Murcia (2023). Dissertation: "La recepción lexicográfica de la terminología matemática en el \"Diccionario de autoridades\" (1726-1739) compendio de las voces de las ciencias matemáticas en los albores del siglo XVIII" under supervision of Dr. Francisco Javier Sánchez Martín.

His research centers on lexicographic evolution in early modern Spain, particularly the integration of mathematical terminology into Spanish during the Enlightenment era. By analyzing the \"Diccionario de autoridades\"—a foundational 18th-century Spanish dictionary—he investigates how scientific vocabulary entered the lexicon through cultural and intellectual exchanges. This work bridges historical linguistics, terminology studies, and the sociology of language, revealing how specialized domains shaped Spanish linguistic identity during pivotal historical transitions.

As a core member of HISTOLEX, he contributes to comprehensive documentation of Spanish lexical development through archival analysis of historical dictionaries and specialized corpora, with emphasis on scientific and technical terminology evolution.
