A central strand of my work concerns gender and language, including the analysis of gendered representations in media, politics, popular culture, as well as specialised professional and academic contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I examine both specialised and public discourses, paying particular attention to the ways in which meaning, ideology, and power relations are constructed and negotiated through language. I consistently adopt a critical stance, drawing on the theoretical and methodological assumptions of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). Methodologically, my studies combine qualitative discourse-analytical approaches with corpus-based and contrastive perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More recently, my research has expanded to include issues of knowledge mediation and language adaptation in specialised communication, language-and-gender issues in telecinematic and audiovisual discourse, as well as metadiscourse in professional and institutional settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Areas of interest and research activity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Discourse analysis (with a critical and sociolinguistic orientation)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Myths, stereotypes, and ideology in discourse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Language of values<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gender and language; gendered representations in media, politics, and culture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Critical Discourse Analysis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Specialised discourse and professional communication<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Telecinematic and audiovisual discourse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Metadiscourse in institutional, professional and academic contexts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Selected publications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Majer, A., &amp; Gierszal, S.
