FEATURED NEOLOGISM:

My favorite neologism is matchear, a Spanish informal verb used mainly to mean that two people’s outfits match—for example, when they wear coordinated or complementary clothing. It is formed by borrowing the English verb match and adding the Spanish verbal suffix -ear, a common strategy for adapting anglicisms into Spanish (as in googlear or banear).

PhD researcher in Computer Science at the University of Alicante and member of the Language Processing and Information Systems Group (GPLSI). I hold a BA in Translation and Interpreting (University of Alicante, 2017–2022) and an MA in English and Spanish for Specific Purposes (University of Alicante, 2023), with academic and training stays at KU Leuven (Antwerp, 2019), the University of Liverpool (2020), Murray State University (2022), and the University of Verona (AITANA mobility internship, 2022). My research lies at the intersection of applied linguistics and NLP, focusing on bias (especially gender bias) in language resources and its impact on automatic text simplification. Within ENEOLI/WG2, I can contribute to the development and assessment of high-quality digital resources, corpus processing pipelines, and bias-aware NLP methodologies to support transparent, representative data for lexical innovation research.
