Author Biography

Paul Buzila, University of Bucharest, Department of Romance Languages and Literatures, Classical Studies and Modern Greek

Professor at the University of Bucharest, where he teaches courses in Hispanic Linguistics, General Linguistics, Sociolinguistics, and Neurocognitive Linguistics. He holds a Ph.D. in Philology (2015) and a Master’s degree in Cognitive Science (2020). He has been a Visiting Professor (Erasmus and CEEPUS programs) at various universities in Spain, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and the Republic of
Moldova, and in 2020 he was a Fulbright Scholar (Visiting Scholar) at Rice University in Houston. His research focuses on language contact phenomena and bilingualism, which he addresses from sociolinguistic, demolinguistic, and neurocognitive perspectives. He is the author of several articles on the speech of Romanian immigrants in Spain, the demolinguistics of Spanish in Romania, and the neurocognitive bases of bilingualism. He is also the author of two books dedicated to these topics: El rumano hablado en España (2016) and Senderos del cerebro bilingüe (The Paths of the Bilingual Brain) (forthcoming). He participated in the international project El español en Europa (Spanish in Europe) and, as a result, is a co-author of the volume Demolingüística del español en Rumanía, Bulgaria y Moldavia (Demolinguistics of Spanish in Romania, Bulgaria, and Moldova) (2024). He currently organizes and moderates the Neurocognitive Linguistics Circle, an activity of the Center for Comparative Linguistics and Cognitivism at the University of Bucharest.
