Dr. Victor-Emanuel Ciuciuc is a Lecturer at the University of Bucharest, where he teaches undergraduate and graduate courses and seminars in Spanish linguistics, pragmatics, and the acquisition of Spanish as a foreign language (L2). He brings together Romance philology and strategic management within a unified research agenda focused on the co-evolution of linguistic behaviour and sustainable thinking.

He holds two doctorates (both awarded summa cum laude in 2024): a PhD in Philology - Intercultural Pragmatics in Spanish and English (University of Bucharest), and a PhD in Management - Sustainable Development Management (National University of Political Studies and Public Administration, SNSPA). He is currently pursuing a third doctorate in Hispanic Studies: Language, Culture and Thought at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (2022-2027).

His academic background includes Master’s degrees in Hispanic Studies (University of Bucharest), TESOL in Multilingual Contexts (Universitat Jaume I), Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language (UIMP), Romanian Language and Literature Studies (University of Craiova), and Educational Management (Technical University of Civil Engineering of Bucharest). Previously, he completed Bachelor’s degrees in Applied Modern Languages (English-Spanish), Philology (Romanian Language and Literature - Spanish Language and Literature), and Marketing, with Erasmus mobilities at the University of Vigo and the Complutense University of Madrid; he also participated in a European intensive programme on marketing strategy simulation (Markstrat).

He is a teacher of Spanish and a certified DELE examiner within the Instituto Cervantes network and has maintained teaching collaborations in management at the National University of Political Studies and Public Administration. His research combines corpus-linguistic tools (analysis of phraseological units, pragmatic transfer, pragmatemes, interlanguage pragmatics, variation in speech acts and registers) with bibliometric methods (RStudio), statistical modelling (SPSS, SmartPLS), and network analysis applied to ESG discourse and sustainable corporate strategy. His work seeks to articulate a cognitive-functional perspective on formulaic language and on the ways in which it structures both everyday interaction and institutional discourse.

His teaching approach is usage-based and task-oriented, aligned with the CEFR and the PCIC, with a strong emphasis on the development of pragmatic competence, formulaic repertoires, and semantic and stylistic awareness in L2 Spanish.

Main research interests: intercultural pragmatics and the variation of speech acts; lexical pragmatics; interlanguage pragmatics; formulaic language and pragmatemes; lexical semantics and phraseological lexicology; cognitive linguistics and corpus linguistics applied to L2; ESG discourse, the semiotics of sustainability, and sustainable corporate strategy.
