Maria Vittoria Calvi is a full Professor of Spanish Language and Translation at the Department of Contemporary Languages and Cultures, University of Milan. Her academic career centers on specialized language research with institutional leadership in national projects and founding roles in research centers. Her research spans four interconnected domains: lexicography (specialized vocabulary in Spanish-Italian contexts), tourism language (discourse genres, digital evolution, and cultural representation), Spanish language teaching (for specific purposes and Italian speakers), and migration linguistics (Italian-Spanish contact in migrant communities). Key methodologies include discourse analysis, pragmatic studies, and comparative lexicography, often applied to tourism communication across digital and traditional platforms. Recent publications (2014-2019) reveal consistent thematic focus on tourism discourse evolution, particularly examining genre blurring in digital contexts (e.g., tourism 2.0), cultural diversity in tourism communication, and pragmatic aspects of specialized translation. Her work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary collaboration, frequently co-editing volumes and leading Spanish-Italian comparative projects. Professor Calvi has directed significant research initiatives including Scientific Coordinator for the PRIN 2007 project 'Il linguaggio della comunicazione turistica spagnolo-italiano' and head of the Milan unit analyzing legal-commercial aspects of tourism language.
