Rate My Professor Irina Gvelesiani

Gvelesiani's research focuses on legal terminology, particularly trust law, succession law, and related juridical-linguistic phenomena across Georgian, Russian, English, French, German, and other languages. She examines the historical evolution and origins of concepts like the common law trust, fiducie, Treuhand, waqf, and acfatmire, employing comparative analyses, corpus-based methods, and insights from ancient sources such as Lex Salica. Key publications include "Globalization and the World Languages" (2011), "Teaching ESP – New Strategies and Approaches" (2023), "The Luxembourgish ‘Fiducie’ and the Georgian ‘Trust’ (Terminological Peculiarities)" (2013), "The Trust and the Waqf (Comparative Analysis)" (2020), "Language Contacts and Trust-Related Terminological Units" (2023), "Swiss ‘Fiducie’ vis-à-vis French ‘Fiducie’ (Terminological ‘Coincidences’)" (2014), and her book "The Origin of the Trust: A Comparative Juridical-Linguistic Study." She has produced 17 scholarly works addressing multilingual education, globalization's impact on languages, migration, COVID-19 challenges in online versus classroom teaching, and joint international projects for multiculturalism. Gvelesiani also holds editorial roles, including responsible editor for TSU's journal Spekali, contributing to scholarly dissemination in linguistics and education.
