Andrew Mihailoff
(MA Student)
BA Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies, Pennsylvania State University
Andrew Mihailoff comes to Greek and Latin philology with a strong grounding in historical linguistics as well as in contemporary linguistic theory, particularly syntax. Having rejected certain central principles of Universal Grammar because of their inapplicability to corpus languages, Andrew embraced Systemic Functional Grammar late as an undergraduate and used that model to illustrate the historical development of the AcI (accusativus cum infinitivo) construction in Latin. Andrew now finds himself trying to understand theories of language which developed among Middle and Neo-Platonists.

His interests include Homer, Greek tragedy, Aristotle's Poetics, and the problem of defining and discussing a "genre" of literature.
