| I am a PhD candidate in theoretical and Semitic linguistics.
| I study how #[strong language] uses #[strong spatiality] to express concepts like #[strong agency], #[strong causation], and #[strong evidentiality].
| I take a #[strong theoretical linguistic] perspective and apply the results to #[strong Biblical Hebrew].
p.larger
| I do this at #[a(href="https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/", target="_blank") Leiden University]
| and #[a(href="https://www.ru.nl/") Radboud University]
| under the supervision of #[a(href="https://www.rooryck.org/") Johan Rooryck]
