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, and  retired completely in June 2016.

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 and later on utntil she retired.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.

Professor Dumitrescu is interested in constantly updating, improving and expanding the Spanish linguistics course offerings at CSLA, and in keeping abreast with the newest methodologies in the field. She has designed a number of linguistics courses for the Spanish majors and/or graduate students, which have been introduced into the curriculum; their subjects include sociolinguistics of the Spanish speaking world, semantics and pragmatics, morphology, introduction to Hispanic linguistics, a seminar on special topics in linguistics, and an advanced writing course for academic purposes, as well as a language diversity course for the GE program.  She also developed online versions of Spanish 380 and ML 300, and a new upper-division course, on Spanish in the United States , which was offered for the first time in Spring 2009 and became part of the Spanish curriculum. 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 (who is of Romanian descent).

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 a member of the dissertation committee of Emily Bernate, at the University of Houston, in spring 2016.

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).

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, and  retired completely in June 2016.

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 and later on utntil she retired.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 (1992), 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.

She also gave several workshops on competency-based foreign language teaching, including a two day workshop at the Asociación Rosarina de Intercambio Cultural Argentino-Norteamericano (ARICANA).

Professor Dumitrescu is interested in constantly updating, improving and expanding the Spanish linguistics course offerings at CSLA, and in keeping abreast with the newest methodologies in the field. She has designed a number of linguistics courses for the Spanish majors and/or graduate students, which have been introduced into the curriculum; their subjects include sociolinguistics of the Spanish speaking world, semantics and pragmatics, morphology, introduction to Hispanic linguistics, a seminar on special topics in linguistics, and an advanced writing course for academic purposes, as well as a language diversity course for the GE program.  She also developed online versions of Spanish 380 and ML 300, and a new upper-division course, on Spanish in the United States , which was offered for the first time in Spring 2009 and became part of the Spanish curriculum. 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 (who is of Romanian descent).

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 a member of the dissertation committee of Emily Bernate, at the University of Houston, in spring 2016.

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).
