Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Despite growing global interest in the emotional dimensions of academic writing, Romanian academic discourse remains underexplored, particularly in multilingual contexts. This study addresses this gap by analyzing a bilingual corpus of texts written in Romanian (L1) and English (L2) across various disciplines and genres. It aims to uncover emotional dimensions conveyed through linguistic markers, exploring how language, culture, and academic context shape students' writing styles. Romania's historical and social emphasis on formality, hierarchy, and indirectness in communication serves as a backdrop for examining these dynamics.
