Hello! I’m Lucy (she/her), a PhD student in Linguistics at New York University. I enjoy exploring syntax’s interfaces with semantics and morphology. I’m particularly interested in event and argument structure, including case, valency, and telicity. I’m also fascinated by spatial language and prepositions.
I completed my Master's Degree on resultative secondary predication in Labrador Inuttitut, supervised by Professor Susana Béjar. I am also part of an ongoing collaboration with Professor Michelle Troberg looking at the expression of path in motion events in Scottish Gaelic.
I can be reached at lucy (dot) meanwell (at) nyu (dot) edu
My languages, in order of capacity: English, French, Scottish Gaelic, Italian.
In November 2024, I graduated with an Honours BA with High Distinction from Woodsworth College, University of Toronto. As a Linguistics Specialist, I received the 2023 Elaine Gold Award and the 2024 Henry Rogers Memorial Scholarship.
In a previous iteration of myself, I worked as an actor in the Toronto area, including Jumbo and The Team on the Hill (2019, Blyth Festival); Jerusalem (2018, Outside the March/Company Theatre); and The Ghost Light Anthology (2019, 2018, Aberrant Theatre).
I also write poetry, and published a collection, The Last Green Thing, in 2019.
My name is pronounced /ˈlu.si ˈmin.wɛɫ/.
Thanks for stopping by!
