Research interests
As part of my dissertation, I am analysing the phenomenon of legislative inflation, particularly in terms of the methodology of empirical studies of legislation. In addition, I am interested in:
- the AI & Law (the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in theoretical legal research)
- jurilinguistics/legilinguistics
- Natural language processing (NLP)
- legisprudence
- philosophy of language, cognitive and descriptive linguistics
