Academic Background

I completed an MA in Classical Greek and Ancient Near East Studies at the University of Basel (funded by the Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes) before moving to the University of Oxford (Lady Margaret Hall) for my DPhil on language contact between post-classical Greek and Coptic (funded by a Clarendon Scholarship). Subsequently, I undertook an MPhil in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics at the University of Cambridge (Peterhouse) with a focus on French linguistics (funded by the AHRC).

Research Interests

I am interested in language contact, especially between Greek and Egyptian (Coptic), syntax, especially the interface between syntax and semantics, and the application of general linguistic concepts to corpus languages.

Research Keywords

Greek, Support-Verb Constructions, Syntax, Semantics, Language contact, Sociolinguistics

Teaching

Classical and comparative philology and linguistics (E caucus, University of Cambridge)
