M.A. LL.M. PhD.
I studied Classics at the University of Amsterdam and Comparative Linguistics at Leiden University. I also obtained a Master's degree in law. 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, cognitive narratology, Functional Discourse Grammar and Greek linguistics, especially verbal semantics (tense, aspect, mood, voice), historical linguistics (grammaticalisation), discourse analysis (particles, word order, text types, intonation units, colometry), and the linguistic and narratological aspects of Ancient Greek literature (embodiment, focalisation, immersion, metalepsis).
I am the programme director of the BA Archaeology, BA Ancient Studies, BA Classics, MA Archaeology, MA Classics and Ancient Studies, and RMA Classics and Ancient Civilizations.
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).
