María José Domínguez Vázquez is a Professor of German Studies at the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain. She is a fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and leads innovative research in digital lexicography, valence grammar, and multilingual language processing. She is the Spanish coordinator and chair of the governing board of the Erasmus Mundus Master’s program in Lexicography (EMLex), reflecting her prominent role in international academic collaboration. Her research centers on the integration of lexicography with natural language processing and generation, focusing on the development of dynamic, computer-assisted tools for multilingual syntactic-semantic pattern generation. Key projects include the design of three plurilingual language generators— Xera , Combinatoria , and CombiContext —which model noun phrase structures and embed them in full sentences across German, French, and Spanish. These tools exemplify her work in data integration, resource interoperability, and automated lexicographic content creation. The recent publications listed demonstrate a strong trend toward digital, corpus-driven, and computationally enhanced lexicography, with emphasis on multilingualism, semantic representation, and practical applications in language technology. Her work bridges theoretical linguistics with applied computational methods. Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation She leads major research projects in multilingual lexicography and automatic language generation and plays a leadership role in the EMLex program, overseeing academic training and international coordination. While specific grant details are not mentioned, her Humboldt fellowship and publication record suggest sustained research funding and institutional support. She has contributed to major edited volumes and peer-reviewed journals in applied and computational linguistics. She is associated with the research group behind the PORTLEX lexicographic portal (http://portlex.usc.gal/) and leads work on integrated digital lexicographic systems. Her team develops tools that combine corpus linguistics, word embeddings, and automatic dictionary generation, fostering innovation in how linguistic knowledge is structured and accessed.
