Wissenschaftlicher Werdegang

Aleksandra Miaskowska is a doctoral researcher in sociolinguistics at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, holding academic degrees in both Polish linguistics (MA, 2020) and sociology (MA, 2023). Her research interests focus on language use in digital spaces, particularly among older adults, and on the sociolinguistic dynamics of contemporary conflicts reflected in media discourse. Her doctoral project examines the communication patterns of individuals aged 60+ on and off social media, employing corpus-based approaches as well as both qualitative and quantitative methods. Previously, she prepared a critical edition of a forgotten 19th-century Polish novel by Teodor Tripplin and conducted an award-winning study on name-based eponyms in online debates surrounding abortion law in Poland, using NLP techniques to analyze large-scale digital corpora.

In addition to her academic work, she has been involved in projects situated at the intersection of language and technology. She worked as a Junior NLP Specialist at NASK, where she co-created annotated datasets of harmful content in Polish, and collaborated with the CLARIN-PL infrastructure. She also gained media experience at TOK FM, one of Poland’s leading news radio stations. Miaskowska has taught courses at Nicolaus Copernicus University on language policy and digital communication, and has delivered guest lectures at Carleton University and the University of California, Riverside. She participated in a research internship at UiT The Arctic University of Norway (2024) and attended the International Historical Sociolinguistics Summer School (2022), organized by the Leiden University Centre for Linguistics. Her publications focus on sociolinguistic phenomena in online discourse, intergenerational digital communication, and linguistic reflections of social conflict in contemporary Polish language.
