M.A. LL.M. PhD.
I studied Classics at the University of Amsterdam and Comparative Linguistics at Leiden University. I also obtained a law degree. Since my PhD at the University of Amsterdam in 2002, I have been teaching Ancient Greek language and literature at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. I am particularly interested in Cognitive Linguistics, Functional Discourse Grammar and Greek linguistics, especially verbal semantics (tense, aspect, mood, voice), historical linguistics (grammaticalisation), discourse analysis (particles, word order, text types) and the linguistic aspects of narrative (focalisation, immersion).
Further academic activities and affiliations
I teach on various subjects relating to Greek language and literature. I am currently supervising two PhD projects: Joachim Kraaij ("Exposing the Sophistic Fallacy: Plato's Euthydemus. A New Critical Edition with Philological Commentary", Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, together with Gerard Boter) and Ezra la Roi ("Counterfactuals in the history of Greek. An enriched diachronic typology using a context-sensitive evolutionary model", Ghent University, together with Klaas Bentein).
