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
