Hello! I'm setting this account up as I transition away from my Twitter account (@d_grif).

I am a lawyer and linguist currently in the final weeks of my PhD at Cardiff University. My work focuses on the use of language in legal contexts, with a particular interest in how authority is manifested in legal texts. More to come soon, particularly after I survive my viva!
