Biography
Meg Smith (1999 Overland Park, Kansas, United States of America) earned her Bachelor’s in Classical and Near Eastern Studies with a focus on Latin from the George Washington University in 2021. After her Bachelor’s she moved to the Netherlands where she earned a Research Masters in Linguistics and Communication from the University of Amsterdam in 2023. After her move, Meg lived in the Netherlands for three years. In 2024, she lived for eleven months in Leuven, Belgium, where she worked with the CRISSP research group at KU Leuven.
In February, 2025, Meg returned to Amsterdam where she works as a promovendus on a joint project with the Fryske Akademy and the University of Amsterdam on the verbal morphology of Old Frisian. More specifically, she studies the domains of verbal inflection, argument structure, and auxiliary constructions. She will write her thesis on the way in which Tense, Mood, and Aspect are encoded across different lexical items within these three morphosyntactic domains.
