Irina Nicula Paraschiv

Since 2006 I have been working as a researcher at „Iorgu Iordan - Al. Rosetti” Institute of Linguistics of the Romanian Academy. My domains of interest are lexical semantics, morphology, semantics-syntax interface, historical syntax.

In 2011, I completed the PhD at the Faculty of Letters, University of Bucharest, under the coordination of professor Gabriela Pană dindelegan, with the topic “Modalități de exprimare a percepțiilor fizice. Verbele de percepție în limba română”, which was further published at Editura Universității (2012) and was granted “Timotei Cipariu” Prize of The Romanian Academy (2014). Among the works completed within the Institute of Linguistics, a few contributions as part of collective works should be mentioned: the chapters "The direct object", "The indirect object"  (in collaboration with Gabriela Pană Dindelegan), "Cognate objects and other pleonastic constructions" (in collaboration with Dana Niculescu), in Gabriela Pană Dindelegan (ed.), The Syntax of Old Romanian, Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2016 and the chapters "Verbs of perception” (p. 82–88),  "Verbs of physical sensations" (p. 88–92 ), "The gerund (present participle)" (p. 245–253), in Gabriela Pană Dindelegan (ed.), "The Grammar of Romanian", Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2013. I have also written several chapters on the morphology of the 19th-20th centuries (The Numeral (19th and 20th centuries), The adjective (20th century)) included in the volume “Studii de istorie a limbii române. Morfosintaxa limbii literare în secolele al XIX-lea și al XX-lea” (eds. Gh. Chivu, G. Pană Dindelegan, A. Dragomirescu, I. Nedelcu, I. Nicula),  published with Editura Academiei Române, 2012 (2nd edition: 2015).

In 2014-2015 I had benefitted from a postdoctoral scholarship granted by the Romanian Academy for the project “Syntactic variation of the Romanian verb. Diachrony and typology”.

Since 2011 I have been teaching Romanian classes to foreign students enrolled at the Centre of Romanian Studies, UB. Since 2013 I have been teaching morphology and phonetics / phonology seminars to 1st year Romanian students ar the Faculty of Letters.
