María José Domínguez Vázquez

I am holder of a European Doctorate in German Philology awarded an Extraordinary PhD Prize. My thesis was a contrastive analysis of the semantics of prepositions and prepositional complements. I lecture at the Faculty of Philology of the USC.

My research activity is centred on the study of dependency grammar, contrastive and multilingual lexicography, and the analysis of users of digital lexicographic information. Among my most relevant papers we can name a contrastive study of verbal valency with the corresponding dictionary (with Ulrich Engel and Gemma Paredes; 2017; volume I, volume II) and the corresponding Diccionario multilingüe da valencia nominal PORTLEX (co-authored). Moreover, I am Principal Investigator in two projects on automatic generation of argument structure, MultiGenera and MultiComb.

I participate in different administrative activities: Spanish coordinator and member of the Executive Council of the Erasmus Mundus Master in Lexicography, fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, member of the International Scientific Council of the Institut für Deutsche Sprache (Mannheim), and of the administrative board of RELEX (Galician lexicography network). I am also a member of the Executive Committee of the European Network of Lexicography (COST-Action).
