Morgan Macleod

Morgan Macleod is a Research Associate at the School of Communication and Media, Faculty of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences, Ulster University, specializing in Modern Languages and Linguistics. Their research integrates traditional linguistic analysis with contemporary computational approaches.

Research Focus: Macleod investigates core linguistic domains including syntax, semantics, and historical evolution of languages—particularly Ancient Greek and Indo-European systems. Recent work explores:

• Functional accounts of Homeric Greek grammar and diachronic syntax changes
• Applications of AI in academic research and adaptive education frameworks
• Cross-disciplinary intersections between linguistics, technology, and social sciences

Publications (2025): Outputs reflect dual expertise in classical linguistics (e.g., Homeric Greek verb morphology) and emerging AI-edtech collaborations. Trends show a pivot toward digital humanities and AI-driven research methodologies.

Projects & Collaborations: Key involvements include:

• DiGreC (Diachrony of Greek Case) treebank development
• ‘Understanding Newcomers in Northern Ireland’ initiative examining language awareness
• Conference presentations on intervention effects in Ancient Greek passives and AI in education
