Introduction:
Before coming to the United States in 1984, Domnita Dumitrescu taught Spanish language, linguistics and literature at the University of Bucharest ( Romania ), as an Assistant, then Associate, Professor in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures, founded by the great Romanian linguist Iorgu Iordan, of whom she was a close disciple. She also taught Spanish on public Romanian television, and she earned a reputation as one of the best translators and interpreters from Spanish into Romanian in her native country.
She came to California State University, Los Angeles, in the Fall of 1987, while still working on her doctoral dissertation at USC, which she completed in December 1989 with the help of a CSU Forgivable Loan/Doctoral Incentive Program for Minorities and Women. She was awarded early tenure and promotion in 1990, and became full professor in 1995. She entered the Faculty Early Retirement program in September 2011, when she became an Emerita. She will be teaching 5 courses, over three quarter, until the summer of 2016, when her FERP contract will end.
In addition to her teaching assignments and her numerous professional activities, between 1989 and 1999, she assumed leadership of the local chapter of the Hispanic Honor Society Sigma Delta Pi, and resumed this activity between fall 2003 and spring 2005.She coordinated the supervision and training of the Spanish Teaching Associates until 1994, and served, between 2000 and 2002, and then in 2004-2005, as coordinator of the Spanish section . Her committee service includes the most important personnel committees in the department and at the college level, and a number of university subcommittees of the academic senate, as well as service on the academic senate itself for several years, and on the OPA selection committee. She also served, for two years, as Director of Teatro Universitario en Español. In 2004-2005, she served as Head of the Task Force for developing a new Subject Matter Preparation Program for prospective teachers of LOTE (Languages Other Than English), which was approved in 2008.
She is the recipient of a Fulbright Senior Scholar Lecturing Award in Argentina (1993), of the José Martel Prize for her activity as a Sigma Delta Pi adviser (1995), and of the Orden de los Descubridores, and Orden de Don Quijote, awarded by Sigma Delta Pi to outstanding Hispanists (in 1997 and 2003, respectively); she is listed in several Who's Who volumes, including Who’s Who in the World,Who's Who in America, Who's Who in American Education, Who’s Who of Romanian-Americans, and the International Who's Who of Professional and Business Women. Inducted into the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi in 1997, she won the Teacher of the Year Award from the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese in 2000, and was included in 2000 Outstanding Scholars of the 20th Century, published by the International Biographic Center, Cambridge, U.K. In 2002, she earned the California State University Los Angeles Distinguished Woman Award, and in 2007 she was the CSULA nominee for the Wang Family Excellence Award (in the category of Visual and Performing Arts and Letters). In 2004, CSULA bestowed upon her its Outstanding Professor Award for 2003-2004, and in 2008 she was the recipient of the CSULA President’s Distinguished Professor Award.
Between 1996 and 2001, she served as associate editor of Hispania, the official journal of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP), preparing -four times a year-the section entitled “The Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian World.” Since January 2011, she has served as Book/Media Review Editor for Hispania, the scholarly journal of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese. She is currently serving on the Editorial Board of Language and Dialogue (published by John Benjamins), Journal of Spanish language Teaching (published by Routledge), and Sociocultural Pragmatics/Pragmática Sociocultural (published by De Gruyter)
Between 2002 and 2005, she also served as associate editor of the Southwest Journal of Linguistics, the journal of the Linguistic Association of the Southwest (LASSO), and she is a frequent manuscript evaluator for several peer reviewed journals (including Hispania and Journal of Pragmatics, as well as the interdisciplinary program EDICE) and for several publishing houses. She has also served, on several occasions, as faculty consultant at the Spanish Advanced Placement Reading, in San Antonio, TX, and on the California Teacher Credentialing Advisory Panel. Finally, she served as an external evaluator for several universities in the US, including CUNY and San Diego State University, among others (tenure and promotion committees, and department reviews).

She has made several program modifications of the BA and MA degrees in Spanish and she co-authored the linguistics part of the Spanish Assessment Exam, currently offered to graduating Spanish majors.
Research interests, and projects:
Domnita Dumitrescu's research interests include the areas of syntax, semantics and in particular pragmatics of the Romance languages--with special emphasis on Spanish and Romanian. She is also interested in researching linguistic aspects of literary texts, and language contact in either second language learning environments or situations of societal bilingualism. In the past, she has also extensively researched topics in translation theory and practice, foreign language pedagogy and contrastive grammar, comparative literature (especially the reception of Spanish authors in Romania , or the influence of Spanish authors on Romanian writers), and Peninsular literary history.
Recently, in addition to her interest in Spanish as a heritage language, she has been studying the academic community’s attitudes toward the Spanish spoken in the US , in particular the mixture of Spanish and English known as Spanglish. In parallel, she has also been studying the linguistic variation in the expression of verbal politeness in the Hispanic world, and the acquisition of verbal politeness in Spanish by speakers of English. She is an active member of EDICE (Estudios sobre el Discurso de Cortesía en Español), an international research group hosted at Stockholm University. She also became interested in new linguistics and literature topics as diverse as conversation analysis in Spanish, the influence of English on the Romanian spoken in the US by first and second generation immigrants, the syntax and semantics of focused pronouns and clitic-doubled constructions in Spanish and Romanian, and images of exile in Argentinean women writers like Alina Diaconú.
At California State University, Los Angeles, she presented two Faculty Colloquia, one (1993) on the historical development of Romanian and its place among the other Romance languages, and another one (1996) on the cross-cultural pragmatics of conversational routines used for thanking, apologizing and complimenting in several languages of the world. She gave her President’s Distinguished Professor Address before the Academic Senate in May 2008, with the title: “Spanish in the United States : Lessons from the past and challenges for the future.”
She has also sponsored the research of two students who became Mc Nair Scholars and earned several prizes at student competitions both at the local and the national level. She served on several MA Thesis Committees outside of her own department, and provided scholarly guidance to numerous CSULA graduates who pursued graduate careers in linguistics. She was the principal opponent at the doctoral dissertation defense of Susanne Henning at the University of Stockholm in September 2015 and is currently a member of the dissertation committee of Emily Bernate, at the University of Houston.
Domnita Dumitrescu is a frequent presenter at national and international meetings of the profession, in particular periodical meetings of the learned societies to which she belongs, such as Asociación Internacional de Hispanistas, American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese, Modern Language Association of America, International Pragmatics Association, Asociación de Lingüística y Filología de la América Latina, Romanian Studies Association of America, Linguistic Association of the Southwest, and the International Programa EDICE (Estudios sobre el discurso de cortesía en español). She has organized and chaired many special sessions and panels at such scholarly meetings, and she has held several offices in the above-mentioned professional organizations. Among others, she was the president of the Southern California Chapter of the AATSP, and the President of the Romanian Studies Association of America. From 1995 to 2007 she served as the Sigma Delta Pi National Vice-President for the West. She also served on the Executive Committee of the MLA Division on Language Theory, on the MLA Delegate Assembly, and on the Executive Committee of the Linguistic Association of the Southwest. She is currently the delegate for the US and Canada of the Association of Linguistcs and Philology of Latin America (ALFAL).

She was also invited to deliver a plenary address at the Jornadas de lingüística aplicada a la enseñanza de la lengua (San Carlos de Bariloche, November 1993), and to coordinate an Encuentro de Investigadores at the XI Congreso Internacional de la ALFAL (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, August 1996). In 1997, the Linguistic Society of America awarded her a National Science Foundation competitive travel grant to participate in the International Congress of Linguists, in Paris. Among other places, she gave invited lectures on Spanish in the US at the University of Costa Rica, in San José, in July 2008, at at the University of Alicante, in September 2010, as well as at the Spanish bookfair (Leala) in Los Angeles, in 2012.

Excerpt from a review published by Frank Nuessel, from the University of Louisville, in Lingua 121.15 ( December 2011):“All ten essays demonstrate D[umitrescu].’s careful scholarship, astute, nuanced observations about various aspects of politeness (thanking, apologizing, complimenting, wishing, and so forth).Furthermore, the author’s discussion of the emerging and very important field of interlanguage pragmatics merits praise because this is an ignored area in theory and practice. It should be further noted that D. has a complete command of the existant research, which is evident in her discussion of the theoretical foundations of her research. Because she uses excellent databases as well as her own empirical research, her claims and hypotheses about the various aspects of pragmatics are credible. Finally, D. investigates areas of pragmatics that have received either very little previous attention” (2190).
Excerpt from a review published by Milton Azevedo, from UC Berkeley, in Journal of Pragmatics 44 (January 2012): "Noteworthy features [of this book] include considerations on the acquisition of pragmatic fluency by L2 speakers, an abundance of examples and chapter notes that clarify and expand on several aspects of each project, and appendices containing samples of questionnaires and informants' replies. Also, in view of the underrepresentation of Romanian in comparative studies, the comments on examples in this language, found throughout the book, are a particularly enriching feature. Besides being a very informative and thought-provoking contribution to the field, A(spects of )S(panish)P(ragmatics) suggests points of departure for further research and suitable topics for discussion in advanced seminars".
Excerpts from a review by Razvan Saftoiu, from the Transilvania University of Brasov, Romania, published in Language and Dialogue 2:2 (2012), 306-312: “In Aspects of Spanish Pragmatics,Domnita Dumitrescu succeeds in grasping the diversity of the field of pragmatics and, at the same time, she opens new paths for further research such as computer-mediated communication in an academic environment. A strong point of this book is the efficient use of authentic data, which were gathered from various sources … Probably the strongest point of this book is the cross-linguistic and the cross-cultural perspective adopted in the analysis of various pragmatic aspects and the suggestions for further comparative and contrastive research.
