Encarnación Podadera Solórzano studied Hispanic Philology at the University of Valencia, where she obtained her undergraduate degree. She subsequently completed a Master’s Degree in Advanced Hispanic Studies: Applications and Research. Her Master’s thesis, entitled “Aproximación al estudio fraseológico de Cuento de cuentos (1626) de Francisco de Quevedo: caracterización gramatical e inserción lexicográfica de las unidades del tipo De + N / SN”, marked the starting point of her subsequent research career in the field of historical phraseology.

She is currently completing her doctoral thesis, “Fraseología diacrónica castellana en el Siglo de Oro: la narrativa picaresca como testimonio literario”, within the research fields of the History and Historiography of the Spanish Language, historical phraseology, and Spanish Golden Age literature. Her research focuses specifically on processes of phraseological institutionalisation and on reconstructing the historical and discursive trajectories of phraseological units in contexts of social marginality.

Throughout her research career, she has published several academic studies in this field and has participated in research projects related to the history of the Spanish language. She also collaborates with the Real Academia Española (Royal Spanish Academy) on specialised tasks involving the review, validation, and quality control of linguistic data within the CORPES XXI corpus.

Throughout her academic, professional, and research career, she has received several distinctions. These include a double Extraordinary Award for the Master’s Degree in Teacher Training for Compulsory Secondary Education, Upper Secondary Education, Vocational Training and Language Teaching in 2019, both in the Spanish Language and Literature specialisation and across all specialisations of the Master’s Degree in Secondary Education Teacher Training, as well as the Innovation Project Award (2020) for the project “Despertar el juicio crítico a través de los clásicos: una propuesta didáctica para el tratamiento de la novela picaresca en el aula”.

She is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Spanish Philology at the University of Valencia. Her university teaching spans different levels and areas of education: she teaches on the Bachelor’s Degree in Primary Education, the Master’s Degree in Spanish as a Foreign Language, the Master’s Degree in Secondary Education Teacher Training, and the Master’s Degree in Language and Literature Education. Alongside her teaching, she holds academic responsibilities in coordination and supervision. She serves as External Placements Coordinator for Primary Education and the Master’s Degree in Secondary Education Teacher Training and also supervises Master’s theses in the Master’s Degree in Secondary Education Teacher Training and the Master’s Degree in Spanish as a Foreign Language.
