Hello! I’m Lucy (she/her), an MA student in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Toronto. 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. 

At the moment, I’m working on resultative secondary predication in Labrador Inuttitut as a member of the UofT Inuttitut Language Group (PI: Professor Susana Béjar). As well, I'm looking at the expression of motion events in Scottish Gaelic with Professor Michelle Troberg. 

I can be reached at lucy (dot) meanwell (at) mail (dot) utoronto (dot) ca

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!
